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

P+HS Architects is a UK-based architectural firm specializing in healthcare and residential design, with offices in Leeds, Newcastle, Stokesley, and Manchester. The company positions itself as an award-winning practice focused on creating inspiring places that enhance lives. Their website showcases a professional portfolio, news updates, and social impact initiatives, targeting clients in the healthcare and residential sectors. The firm maintains a consistent brand presence and is affiliated with recognized industry bodies such as RIBA and CIAT. Technically, the website is built on Craft CMS and leverages modern web technologies including JavaScript, Vimeo Player API, Google Tag Manager, and Mailchimp for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and multimedia content. However, some security best practices such as implementing security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms but lacks visible security headers and a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rules, limiting domain registration insights, but the professional nature of the website and trust indicators mitigate concerns. Overall, P+HS Architects presents a credible and professional online presence with moderate technical maturity and a good security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would enhance their risk profile and trustworthiness.

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

5 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

P+HS Architects operates in a niche market focusing on healthcare and residential architectural design within the UK. Their business model centers on providing specialized architectural consultancy services, supported by a portfolio of featured projects and sector expertise. The firm leverages partnerships and accreditations with industry bodies to strengthen market positioning. Their digital presence includes active social media channels and content marketing through news and knowledge sections, indicating a growth-oriented and client-focused approach. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled client engagement via web forms. The company appears medium-sized with regional reach, emphasizing social impact and sustainability as part of their organizational culture.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form submissions. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No signs of exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or malicious content were found. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive data privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not published, which could hinder timely security issue management. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for the business type but with room for enhancement to meet higher compliance standards and reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to ensure compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider creating a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting and enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Craft CMS and utilizes modern JavaScript libraries and APIs such as Vimeo Player and Google Tag Manager. The site loads multimedia content efficiently with responsive images and video backgrounds. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in caching and script loading. Accessibility features are present, and the site is mobile-optimized. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured navigation. The lack of visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates some technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical controls.
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.
