79/100

Risk levelLow

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

Staab Architekten is a German architecture firm specializing in cultural, institutional, and public building projects. Their website showcases a portfolio of award-winning projects, including museums, seminar buildings, and cultural centers, targeting clients in the real estate and cultural sectors. The firm positions itself as a reputable medium-sized architecture practice with a strong presence in Germany. Technically, the website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web standards, though no CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS assumed but lacking explicit security headers and policies. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. Business credibility is supported by professional content and contact information, though WHOIS data is missing, which reduces transparency and trust. Overall, the website is professional and functional but could improve in security and privacy 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.

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

Staab Architekten operates in the architecture and real estate sector, focusing on high-profile cultural and institutional projects. Their business model revolves around architectural design services and participation in competitions. The firm demonstrates strong market positioning through awards and notable projects. The website indicates partnerships with landscape architects and engineering firms. The target audience includes public institutions, cultural organizations, and private clients seeking architectural expertise. Growth indicators include recent project completions and awards. The firm maintains a professional digital presence with social media engagement and detailed project documentation.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS are detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which is a gap for transparency and preparedness. No forms with sensitive data collection are present on the main pages, reducing immediate risk. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism may pose GDPR compliance risks. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional headers, policies, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities or outdated components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript without heavy frameworks or CMS detected. It uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization and includes meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph, Twitter cards). Performance appears moderate with optimized images and lazy loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided HTML snippet, indicating minimal user tracking. Hosting provider and backend technologies are not identifiable from the HTML. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
