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

Tombazis & Associates Architects is a professional architectural firm specializing in diverse project types including cultural, residential, hospitality, and commercial developments primarily in Greece and select international locations such as Portugal and Cyprus. The firm participates in international competitions and offers architectural design and consulting services. Their website reflects a medium-sized business with a consistent brand and good content quality, targeting clients seeking architectural expertise. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS and uses modern frontend libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Slick Carousel. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and basic accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner present, but lacks important security headers and a privacy policy page, which impacts compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and reduces the domain's trustworthiness score, though the professional website content supports legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 company operates in the architectural design sector with a focus on real estate, hospitality, cultural, and educational projects. Their business model revolves around providing architectural services, participating in competitions, and executing projects internationally. The firm targets clients in need of architectural and urban planning services, positioning itself as an established player with award-winning projects. The website does not disclose founding year or parent company information, indicating a standalone medium-sized firm. The lack of direct contact details on the homepage suggests contact information may be deeper in the site or handled via forms. The firm uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for marketing insights, indicating a moderate digital marketing maturity. No certifications or trust badges are displayed, which could be an area for improvement to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance, but no privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, indicating compliance gaps. No contact channels for incident response or data protection officers are provided, reducing transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site uses common JavaScript libraries, but no vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were identified in the provided data. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding security headers, privacy documentation, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate a data protection officer to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure secure dependencies.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap, and Slick Carousel for frontend interactivity and responsive design. Google Fonts and Font Awesome are used for typography and icons. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive menus and a cookie consent banner. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but some legacy scripts like jquery-migrate are present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. The absence of security headers and privacy documentation are technical gaps that should be addressed to improve security and compliance posture.
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.
