Risk levelMedium

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

Studio One is a medium-sized Armenian IT consulting and digital services company specializing in web design, development, mobile apps, online marketing, and security audits. The company serves a diverse client base including governmental, financial, e-commerce, manufacturing, consulting, and media sectors. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, and Google Maps API, but lacks some advanced accessibility and mobile optimization features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but missing important security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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"

    • 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

Studio One positions itself as a comprehensive IT consulting and digital media studio in Armenia with a broad service portfolio. Their competitive advantage lies in their diverse service offerings and established client base including notable governmental and financial institutions. The business model focuses on custom development and consulting services with revenue likely from project-based contracts and ongoing maintenance. The company targets local Armenian businesses and international clients requiring IT solutions. Growth indicators include a portfolio of over 690 projects and active social media presence. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and offering security audit services. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information is provided, indicating gaps in security transparency. Privacy compliance is insufficient with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar frameworks. The contact form collects user data but does not indicate secure handling or privacy notices. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and mobile responsiveness to improve user experience and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, leveraging libraries such as Owl Carousel and Chosen.js for UI components. Google Analytics and Google Maps APIs are integrated for analytics and location services. The site uses deferred script loading for performance optimization. However, no CMS or backend platform is identified from the front-end code. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities in mobile scaling and accessibility. The site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
