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

bildwerfer.ch is a personal portfolio website showcasing the photography work of Christoph Pieren, with a focus on cinema-related events such as Be-Movie 2024. The site targets film enthusiasts and cultural audiences interested in visual media documentation. The business operates as a small-scale portfolio without extensive commercial infrastructure or e-commerce capabilities. Technically, the site is built on Adobe Portfolio, leveraging Typekit fonts and standard web technologies, providing a moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service documentation, which limits its compliance posture. No contact information or incident response channels are provided, which could impact user trust and security readiness. Overall, the website is accessible and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures.

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 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';…

  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

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 positions itself as a niche media portfolio focused on Swiss cinema and cultural events, leveraging visual storytelling to engage a specialized audience. The business model is primarily portfolio-based, likely supporting freelance photography services or event documentation. The absence of commercial or transactional elements suggests a focus on brand building and exposure rather than direct sales. The linked domain christophpieren.ch indicates a personal brand extension, reinforcing the individual-centric nature of the business. Growth opportunities may include expanding contact channels, adding service descriptions, and improving compliance documentation to attract more clients and partnerships.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic, with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. No forms or data collection mechanisms were found, reducing immediate risk exposure, but also limiting user engagement capabilities. The cookie banner provides a consent mechanism, which is a positive compliance indicator. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and terms documents, and providing clear contact points for security incidents to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information including email and phone for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in the platform or third-party integrations.
  5. Enhance analytics and tracking transparency to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Adobe Portfolio as its CMS platform, which provides a stable and visually appealing infrastructure but limits customization and advanced security configurations. The use of Typekit fonts indicates integration with Adobe's ecosystem. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design elements. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility is basic with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks identified. The site does not use common analytics or marketing scripts beyond platform defaults, reducing tracking footprint but also limiting marketing insights. Overall, the technical implementation is suitable for a portfolio site but could be improved with enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security 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.
