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

Rafael Ribas is a Paris-based professional specializing in art direction and graphic design, with a focus on type design, branding, and editorial projects. The website serves as a portfolio showcasing collaborations with notable clients such as Louis Vuitton and Musée d’Orsay, positioning the business as a niche creative service provider in the design industry. The target audience includes design professionals and clients seeking high-quality art direction and custom typography services. The business model is primarily service and portfolio-based, emphasizing creative output and client engagement. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap 4 and jQuery, hosted by OVH sas. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility and SEO features. No CMS or advanced platforms are detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. External links to collaborators and partners in the design field enrich the ecosystem. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain locking enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No forms or user input fields reduce attack vectors, and no analytics or tracking scripts indicate minimal user tracking. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good business credibility and content quality. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would enhance the security posture and regulatory adherence, supporting long-term trust and risk mitigation.

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

9 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 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"

    • 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

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

The website reflects a small, specialized creative business focused on art direction and type design. Market positioning is niche with high-profile collaborations, suggesting a premium service offering. The business model relies on showcasing portfolio work to attract clients rather than direct e-commerce. Revenue streams likely come from client projects and collaborations. The target customer segment includes fashion brands, cultural institutions, and editorial clients. Growth indicators include recent projects and collaborations with recognized entities. The partnership ecosystem is strong within the creative and typographic community, enhancing credibility and reach. Strategic observations include the need for improved compliance documentation and potential expansion of digital marketing to increase visibility.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. The use of HTTPS and domain locking are positive indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options leaves the site vulnerable to certain attacks. No forms reduce risk of injection or data leakage. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, limiting readiness for security events. Overall, the security culture appears basic but can be improved with targeted enhancements to policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  5. Regularly review and update security posture including monitoring for vulnerable libraries and ensuring HTTPS configurations remain strong.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap 4, indicating a modern but straightforward technical stack. Hosting is provided by OVH sas, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with lazy loading for images and videos, improving load times. Mobile optimization is good with viewport meta tags and responsive design. Accessibility is basic with no explicit ARIA roles or advanced features detected. SEO is basic with meta description and keywords present but no structured data or Open Graph tags. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce exposure to attacks.
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.
