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

Peschke Design GmbH is a well-established design agency based in Vienna, Austria, specializing in product design, UX/UI, app development, 3D visualization, and industrial design. With over 50 years of experience and a strong portfolio of reputable clients such as Carl Zeiss AG, ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH, and Austrian Airlines, the company positions itself as a trusted partner for digital transformation and innovative design solutions. Their business model focuses on delivering comprehensive design and development services tailored to client needs, supported by a professional and content-rich website that targets businesses seeking high-quality design expertise. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, hosted on WP Engine, and uses Cloudflare as a CDN and proxy. It employs modern web technologies including React, jQuery, and Swiper.js, and supports multilingual content via WPML. SEO and accessibility are well addressed with Yoast SEO and adherence to WCAG guidelines. However, performance metrics are not available, though mobile optimization and navigation clarity are good. From a security perspective, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability. No TLS protocols are enabled, and security headers are minimal. While cookies are set with secure and HttpOnly flags, the absence of HTTPS exposes users to potential interception risks. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and a cookie consent mechanism. No explicit security or incident response policies are published. Overall, the website demonstrates high professionalism and business credibility but suffers from a critical security misconfiguration regarding SSL/TLS. Addressing this would significantly improve the security posture and trustworthiness of the site.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

Strategic observations highlight their emphasis on quality, innovation, and comprehensive service delivery, positioning them as a leader in the Austrian design market.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement. This exposes the site and its users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While some security best practices are observed, such as secure cookie flags and use of Cloudflare, critical gaps remain in TLS protocol support, HSTS implementation, and security headers. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits preparedness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is evident in privacy and cookie policies, but the lack of HTTPS undermines overall data protection efforts. The security culture appears to prioritize user privacy but needs urgent technical improvements to secure communications.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable outdated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enhance security headers by adding Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare as a CDN and proxy layer. The tech stack includes React, jQuery, Swiper.js, and several WordPress plugins such as Contact Form 7 and WPML for multilingual support. SEO is optimized using Yoast SEO, and accessibility is addressed with WCAG compliance. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and HTTPS is a major technical debt and security risk. Performance data is missing, but caching headers and Cloudflare caching indicate some optimization efforts. Modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous script loading improve user experience. Overall, the technical setup is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
