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

Some Place Studio is a small architectural practice operating out of Berlin and Vienna, specializing in buildings, interiors, and exhibitions with a strong commitment to sustainability and cultural engagement. The firm emphasizes collaboration and diversity, positioning itself as a woman-owned business within the German architecture market. Their service offerings include comprehensive architectural design, project management, and construction supervision, targeting clients who value sustainable and contextually aware design solutions. Technically, the website is built on the Cargo CMS platform, utilizing modern web standards and custom typography, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for compliance improvement. No forms or direct contact details are provided, which may impact user engagement and trust. Overall, the domain appears legitimate with privacy-protected WHOIS data, consistent with the professional nature of the business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding privacy and cookie policies, and providing clear contact information to improve compliance and user 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 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"

      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 company operates in the niche architectural sector focusing on sustainable and culturally relevant design. Its market position is strengthened by its woman-owned status and international collaborations, appealing to clients seeking innovative and responsible architecture. The business model revolves around providing end-to-end architectural services from concept to construction supervision. The firm’s client list includes prestigious museums and cultural institutions, indicating a strong reputation in the arts and design community. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based architectural contracts. The website’s minimal marketing and absence of analytics suggest a focus on direct client relationships rather than broad digital marketing. The partnership ecosystem includes global designers and strategists, enhancing project delivery quality. Growth indicators are not explicit but the firm’s emphasis on sustainability and diversity aligns with current market trends.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No forms or user input fields are present, minimizing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could delay response to security incidents. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, formalizing privacy compliance, and establishing clear security communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries to facilitate communication and incident response.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update CMS and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website analytics and user tracking transparency to balance business intelligence needs with privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Cargo CMS, leveraging modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies with custom variable fonts for typography. The hosting is provided by Cargo Collective, a specialized platform for creative portfolios. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD detected. No analytics or tracking scripts are found, indicating minimal data collection. The site lacks advanced technical security measures such as security headers and CSP. There are no forms or interactive elements, reducing complexity but also limiting engagement. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for a small creative business but could benefit from modernization in security and SEO practices.
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.
