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

Atelier Spolia GmbH is a small architectural and design atelier based in Bern, Switzerland. The company focuses on exploring architecture and design through a process of learning and rethinking, offering bespoke projects that encourage freedom of use and appropriation. Their market position is niche, targeting clients interested in innovative and open architectural solutions. The website is built on WordPress using the Lay Theme, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, ensuring secure communication. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and analytics tools suggests room for improvement in compliance and marketing sophistication. Security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing standard security headers and formal incident response mechanisms. Overall, the website presents a professional image with clear contact information but lacks comprehensive privacy and security disclosures.

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

7 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 business operates in the Real Estate sector with a focus on architecture and design services. It appears to be a small-sized company without publicly listed subsidiaries or parent companies. The business model is service-oriented, providing architectural and design solutions. The website content and contact details are consistent with the registrant information, reinforcing legitimacy. There is no evidence of extensive marketing or advertising partnerships. The company leverages Instagram for social media presence, which aligns with creative industry practices. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed on the website. The company maintains a focused portfolio approach, emphasizing quality and bespoke projects.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No forms or input fields are present, reducing the attack surface. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which limits transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact information is not provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by adopting best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider integrating analytics and marketing tools with privacy compliance to improve business intelligence and user engagement.

Spolia explores the fields of architecture and design in a constant process of learning and rethinking. Each project is shaped in its own way, without fitting into a predefined mold. The object or space created are as open as possible, encouraging freedom of use and appropriation, instead of prescriptions. Rather than being an end in itself, it should be the beginning of a new conception by others.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Lay Theme, with jQuery and Swiper.js libraries for frontend interactivity. The site uses lazy loading for images and has responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no JSON-LD structured data detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the HTML content. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or platforms beyond WordPress and its theme. The site does not use common analytics or advertising scripts, indicating a lean technical footprint.
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.
