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

Thomas Huot-Marchand is a professional typographer and graphic designer with a portfolio showcasing a variety of projects including custom typefaces, visual identities, posters, and exhibitions. The website serves as a portfolio platform targeting design professionals and enthusiasts, emphasizing bespoke typography and graphic design services. The business is small-sized, based in France, and has been active since 2008, consistent with the domain registration data. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for interactive galleries and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site is hosted by OVH sas, a reputable hosting provider, and uses HTTPS, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, indicating room for security improvements. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which could pose compliance risks under GDPR. Contact information is limited to a contact form without direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the website is professionally designed with good user experience and content relevance but could enhance its security posture and privacy compliance.

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

The business operates in a niche creative sector focusing on typography and graphic design, offering custom typefaces and visual identity services. The portfolio indicates collaborations with agencies and brands, suggesting a B2B model with commissioned projects. The market position is specialized and professional, targeting clients needing bespoke typographic solutions. The website content and domain age align well, supporting credibility. The absence of direct contact details and privacy policies suggests a focus on portfolio presentation rather than direct sales or e-commerce. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-aware approach. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly identified, but references to agencies like be-poles and BETC indicate collaborative relationships.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the lack of DNSSEC reduces DNS security, and no security headers were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks such as clickjacking or MIME sniffing. The use of third-party JavaScript libraries is current but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were found in the content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps that could lead to regulatory risks. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company email and phone number to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with jQuery 3.4.1 and Flickity for interactive galleries. It uses Matomo analytics hosted on a subdomain for user tracking. The site is hosted by OVH sas, a known hosting provider, and uses HTTPS for secure connections. The site appears mobile optimized with responsive design elements. SEO optimization is basic with meta description and viewport tags present. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Performance is moderate given the use of multiple large image galleries. No CMS or major frameworks were detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. The site lacks advanced security configurations such as DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for modern web applications.
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.
