Risk levelMedium

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

Snøhetta is a globally recognized transdisciplinary architecture and design firm focused on creating meaningful places that connect societies and the environment. Their website showcases a broad portfolio of projects across architecture, landscape, interior, product, and brand experience disciplines, targeting clients and partners in the design and real estate sectors. The digital infrastructure is modern, leveraging lazy loading, video loops, and a likely Craft CMS backend, hosted on a CDN for performance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS and CSRF tokens present but lacking explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, though the professional content and social media presence support legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed and user-friendly but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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 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 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Snøhetta operates as a large, important entity in the architecture and design industry, offering comprehensive services including architecture, landscape, interior, product design, and brand experience. Their market position is strong with a global footprint and a diverse project portfolio. The business model centers on professional design services with revenue likely from client projects and partnerships. The website indicates active engagement through news, events, and social media channels, supporting growth and client outreach. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the business credibility given the quality of content and branding.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, indicating basic security hygiene. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, and no privacy or cookie policies were found, which may pose compliance risks especially under GDPR. No tracking or analytics services were identified, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with better header configurations, formal policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain trustworthiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including lazy loading for images and videos, video loop components, and likely runs on Craft CMS. Hosting is via a CDN (b-cdn.net) which supports fast content delivery. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation hints. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. No major technical debt or performance issues are evident from the provided data. However, the absence of explicit security headers and privacy compliance features are technical gaps that should be addressed.
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.
