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

Andy Chung's website is a personal portfolio showcasing design projects primarily focused on creative and digital design work. The site highlights various projects from 2016 to 2024, emphasizing a design-centric business model targeting a general audience interested in design and creative portfolios. The website is hosted on the Read.cv platform with media assets served via Cloudinary, indicating a modern but simple technical infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design quality. However, it lacks formal privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with no detected security headers and DNSSEC not enabled, suggesting room for improvement in technical security controls. Overall, the domain registration is privacy protected but consistent with the site’s purpose and age, indicating legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, improving security headers, and providing contact information to enhance trust and 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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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 website serves as a personal portfolio for Andy Chung, a designer based in Berkeley, US. The business model is straightforward, focusing on showcasing design projects and creative work to potential clients or collaborators. The market position is that of an individual creative professional rather than a corporate entity. The site links to various related projects and domains, indicating a network of creative endeavors. There is no evidence of monetization through advertising or affiliate programs. The target audience is general, including design enthusiasts and potential clients. Growth indicators include recent projects up to 2024, showing active engagement. The partnership ecosystem is limited to related personal or studio projects. Overall, the business intelligence suggests a small-scale, personal creative portfolio with moderate digital maturity.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is basic. The site uses HTTPS (implied by Cloudflare DNS and modern hosting practices) but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security. No forms or inputs are present that collect sensitive data, reducing attack surface. There is no evidence of incident response contacts or security policies. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security posture would benefit from implementing standard security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including an email address for general and security-related inquiries to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and media content for vulnerabilities and ensure all dependencies are up to date.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Read.cv platform, leveraging HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with media assets hosted on Cloudinary. The site uses modern video and image formats and is mobile responsive with a clean, minimal design. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization indicators but no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic, with no ARIA roles or advanced accessibility features observed. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. The domain is registered via GoDaddy with privacy protection and uses Cloudflare DNS servers, indicating a reliable hosting and DNS infrastructure. There is no CMS detected beyond the Read.cv platform. Overall, the technical implementation is modern but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO 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.
