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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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

Studio Arsène operates in the media and creative services sector, focusing on integrated communication solutions. Its business model revolves around providing tailored creative services including branding, graphic design, and digital marketing. The company has a local/regional market presence in Belgium, supported by a portfolio of client cases and partnerships. The website highlights a strong partnership ecosystem and active social media engagement, which supports growth and client acquisition. The company was founded in 2019, aligning with the domain registration date, indicating a relatively young but established business. Revenue streams likely come from project-based creative services and ongoing social media management contracts.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could impact readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and tracking tools is transparent and controlled via consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with clear areas for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response policy or security contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Leadinfo tracking. Fonts are loaded via Adobe Typekit, ensuring consistent typography. The site is hosted by Combell nv, a reputable Belgian provider. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to optimize performance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements.
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.
