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

Transborder Studio is a small architecture practice founded in 2013, specializing in architecture, urbanism, and interior design with a focus on sustainable and cultural projects. The website serves as a portfolio showcasing key projects primarily located in Norway and Venice. The business targets clients interested in green living and cultural spaces, positioning itself as a niche player in the architecture sector. Technically, the website uses modern web standards with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, and images are delivered via the imgix CDN. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, and no contact information or incident response details are provided, which impacts trust and compliance. Overall, the site is professional and functional but could improve in transparency and security best practices.

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 company operates in the Real Estate sector focusing on architectural design services. Its business model revolves around project-based architectural and urban design work, targeting municipalities, cultural institutions, and private developers. The firm’s market position is that of a specialized boutique architecture studio with a sustainable and cultural emphasis. There is no evidence of large-scale partnerships or subsidiaries. The website content is consistent with a small firm’s portfolio, with no direct revenue streams or e-commerce functionality visible. The lack of contact details and privacy policies may limit client trust and engagement. Growth indicators are not visible from the website alone.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the domain has clientTransferProhibited status, which prevents unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness is not documented. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer trust.
  5. Develop an incident response policy and publish relevant contact channels for security issues to demonstrate security culture and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Images are served via the imgix CDN, which optimizes delivery and performance. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No CMS or major frameworks are detected, indicating a likely custom or static site build. Hosting and DNS are managed through joker.com and subsys.no respectively. Performance is moderate with no obvious technical debt or errors. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small portfolio site 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.
