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

Phineas Harper's website is a professionally designed Squarespace site promoting a series of cultural debate events called Turncoats, focusing on architecture, urbanism, and social issues. The site targets a niche audience interested in public discourse and cultural critique, primarily in the UK. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is hosted on Squarespace, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise integration, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security 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

7 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 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

    • 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 business operates as a small event organizer and promoter, leveraging partnerships with reputable organizations like the Architecture Foundation. Revenue likely derives from ticket sales for events. The website content and WHOIS data align well, indicating a consistent and transparent operation. The target market is culturally engaged individuals in London and the UK. The business model is straightforward, focusing on live events and public debates. There is no evidence of large-scale commercial operations or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, indicating awareness of basic security needs. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap that should be addressed. Incident response and security policies are not publicly disclosed. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding explicit incident response and security contact information to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace, utilizing its CMS and hosting platform, which simplifies management but limits customization. It uses Google Fonts and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form security. The site is mobile optimized and has a clean, modern design. Performance is moderate, typical for Squarespace sites. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is room for improvement in security configurations and privacy compliance.
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.
