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

Anne Schwalbe operates a professional photography portfolio website primarily targeting art enthusiasts and potential buyers in Berlin and beyond. The site features a curated gallery of photographic works, an online shop for art sales, and a newsletter subscription to engage visitors with updates on exhibitions and new works. The business is positioned as a niche artist portfolio with a small-scale operation, founded at least since 1995, reflecting a mature presence in the art community. Technically, the website is built with standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without reliance on major CMS platforms or advanced frameworks. The site demonstrates good content quality, clear navigation, and basic mobile optimization. However, it lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and user trust. Hosting is managed via UI-DNS name servers, indicating a stable but modest infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site uses secure form inputs with consent checkboxes for newsletter subscriptions but does not exhibit advanced security policies or incident response information. No blocking or WAF mechanisms are detected, and the domain WHOIS data aligns well with the website's claims, indicating legitimacy and consistent registration history. The absence of exposed sensitive data and minimal tracking enhances privacy compliance, though cookie consent should be improved. Overall, the website scores well in content quality and business credibility but has room for improvement in security posture and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response transparency would strengthen 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

6 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Anne Schwalbe's website serves as a digital portfolio and sales channel for photographic art, targeting art collectors, enthusiasts, and the cultural community primarily in Germany. The business model centers on showcasing artistic works and facilitating direct sales via an online shop, supplemented by a newsletter to maintain customer engagement. The market position is niche, focusing on artistic photography with a loyal audience. Revenue streams likely include art sales and exhibition promotions. The partnership ecosystem is minimal, with social media presence limited to Instagram. Growth indicators include a long-standing domain and consistent content updates. The operation is small-scale, with no evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic security maturity level with secure form handling and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are standard best practices. There is no evidence of a formal security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy and consent checkbox on the newsletter form, but cookie consent is missing. The absence of security headers and incident response information represents moderate compliance gaps and potential risk areas. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small artist portfolio but should be enhanced to mitigate risks and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and performance to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a simple, custom-coded stack using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without reliance on popular CMS or frameworks. The site loads moderately fast with basic mobile responsiveness and good accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by meta tags including description, keywords, and robots directives. Hosting is managed via UI-DNS name servers, suggesting a stable but modest hosting environment. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts, which reduces privacy concerns but limits marketing insights. The technical debt appears low, but modernization opportunities include adopting HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms to align with current web standards.
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.
