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

The website bergholt.net serves as a personal portfolio and blog for Kasper Bergholt, a Danish artist and photographer. It showcases various art projects, photography series, and related writings, targeting a general audience interested in contemporary art and culture. The site is well-structured with good content quality and consistent branding, reflecting a niche but professional presence in the art community. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 7.0, leveraging standard plugins and scripts such as Matomo for analytics and BaguetteBox.js for image galleries. The performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy and cookie policy present but no active consent mechanism. Contact information and formal business/legal policies are absent, limiting direct engagement and trust signals. Overall, the site is a credible, small-scale artist portfolio with room for improvement in security and privacy 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 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 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Kasper Bergholt operates as an individual artist and photographer, presenting his work and related cultural commentary through the website. The business model is primarily content publication and portfolio display, likely supporting personal branding and potential commissions or exhibitions. Market positioning is niche, focusing on art and photography enthusiasts, particularly within Denmark. The site does not reveal revenue streams or partnerships, indicating a primarily self-managed operation. The absence of contact details and formal business policies suggests a low commercial focus. The website's longevity since 2007 indicates stable digital presence. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are linked. The content and SEO efforts support organic discovery within the art community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer restrictions in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduce the overall security robustness. No forms or input fields are present, minimizing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. The use of Matomo analytics indicates some user tracking, but without explicit cookie consent mechanisms, there is a compliance gap with GDPR standards. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which could hinder response to potential security incidents. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from enhanced security controls and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish clear contact information and a security policy to improve trust and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0 with a custom or standard theme (Twenty Twenty-One). It uses PHP and JavaScript libraries including Matomo for analytics and BaguetteBox.js for image galleries. The site loads CSS and JS assets optimized via LiteSpeed Cache. Meta tags and JSON-LD structured data are well implemented for SEO and social sharing. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major errors or broken elements detected. However, the absence of advanced security headers and DNSSEC indicates some technical debt in security hardening. No forms or interactive elements reduce complexity but also limit user engagement capabilities.
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.
