Zaha Hadid Design · E-commerce · United Kingdom

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

81/100

Risk levelLow

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

Zaha Hadid Design is a luxury design brand established in 2006, now part of the Zaha Hadid Foundation, offering high-end homeware products through a professionally maintained Shopify e-commerce platform. The website reflects a strong brand identity with consistent design and rich content targeting luxury consumers and design enthusiasts. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Shopify's platform, JavaScript modules, and multiple analytics and marketing tools, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, cookie consent mechanisms, and use of hCaptcha, though lacks explicit public security policies or incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain introduces some trust concerns, but the overall digital presence and branding suggest legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include verifying domain registration status, publishing security policies, and enhancing transparency around incident response.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 niche luxury e-commerce sector, focusing on design-led homeware and related products. Its market position is strengthened by association with the Zaha Hadid Foundation and a curated product portfolio including collaborations and publications. The business model centers on direct online sales with a target audience of affluent consumers and collectors. The website's use of structured data and social media integration supports marketing and customer engagement. Growth potential is indicated by active project showcases and product launches. Partnerships with platforms like Shopify and marketing tools like Omnisend and Facebook Pixel underpin its digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and bot protection via hCaptcha. Security headers are likely present given Shopify hosting, though explicit confirmation is absent. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. GDPR compliance is indicated by privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing detailed security and incident response information and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish accurate WHOIS domain registration information to enhance trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Ensure all security headers are explicitly set and documented.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

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.
