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

3 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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

Spring Studio operates in the real estate sector focusing on outdoor living spaces. Their business model is service-oriented, offering end-to-end garden solutions from design to maintenance. The company leverages digital marketing tools and social media to reach their target audience of garden owners in Berlin. While the domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, the website content and structured data provide sufficient legitimacy indicators. The company appears well-positioned locally with a consistent brand and professional online presence, though no information on company size or founding year was found.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, HSTS, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Tracking technologies are used responsibly with user consent. However, the absence of a security.txt file or explicit incident response contacts limits transparency in vulnerability management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Recommendations include adding security headers like Content-Security-Policy and publishing vulnerability disclosure information to enhance trust and security readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  2. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and update privacy documentation accordingly.

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its CMS capabilities along with embedded third-party services like YouTube, Weglot for translations, and Elfsight widgets for enhanced functionality. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are implemented for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites with multiple external resources. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and well integrated, supporting a professional user experience.
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.
