0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Outkast Studio is a small, specialized web development studio focused on partnering with top designers and agencies to deliver high-quality, creative web development solutions. Their business model centers on providing development-only services, emphasizing interaction design and automation development. The company leverages modern technologies such as Next.JS, React, GSAP, and Sanity CMS, hosted primarily on Vercel, ensuring a fast and responsive user experience. The website demonstrates excellent design quality and professionalism, supported by strong testimonials and a curated portfolio of partner projects. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data due to privacy protection is noted but justified given the business type. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack with good SEO and mobile optimization. The use of privacy-focused analytics (Fathom) indicates a moderate approach to user tracking. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the lack of explicit security headers and privacy/cookie policies represents areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be enhanced to improve trust and compliance. Overall, Outkast Studio presents a credible and professional digital presence with a strong focus on technical excellence and client collaboration. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen their risk posture and market trust.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Outkast Studio occupies a niche market as a development partner for design agencies and designers, differentiating itself by focusing solely on development rather than design. This specialization allows them to target a specific customer segment seeking expert technical execution. Their portfolio includes collaborations with reputable design studios such as Otherdays® and Monolif, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem. The business model relies on project-based engagements with high-end clients, supported by testimonials that highlight quality and reliability. Growth indicators include recent projects and a pivot to a development-only focus, suggesting strategic refinement. The company operates primarily in the US market with a small team size, emphasizing quality over scale.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern frameworks that reduce common vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or outdated libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page, limiting transparency for security researchers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar frameworks. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR and privacy law compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create a security.txt file and a vulnerability disclosure policy page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Include clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses, to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, performant technology stack centered around Next.JS and React, with advanced animation and interaction libraries like GSAP and React Three Fiber. Content management is handled via Sanity CMS, enabling flexible content updates. Hosting on Vercel ensures fast global delivery and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags for social sharing. The use of privacy-focused analytics (Fathom) reflects a modern approach to user data collection. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers to reduce risk.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
