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

Colourbox is a Danish-based stock media platform offering millions of stock images, videos, and vectors with simple licensing and pricing models. The website targets businesses and individuals seeking creative digital assets for online and offline communication. The company maintains a professional market position with exclusive and editorial content, supported by active social media channels on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React, Font Awesome Pro icons, Google Tag Manager, and Amazon Cloudfront CDN to deliver a performant and responsive user experience. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and missing WHOIS data represent gaps in compliance and transparency. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced but could be improved by adding security headers and incident response contact information. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences and demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation.

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. 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 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

  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';…

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

Colourbox operates in the media sector as a stock content provider, focusing on licensing images, videos, and vectors. Its business model revolves around digital asset sales with simple rights management and pricing. The platform supports team collaboration features, enhancing its appeal to corporate clients. The company shows a medium size footprint with a strong Danish presence and international reach through multilingual support and social media. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual but the website's content quality and social presence suggest legitimacy. Partnerships with social platforms and use of Typeform for engagement indicate a modern marketing approach. Growth potential exists through expanding exclusive content and improving compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the analyzed content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, represents compliance and operational risks. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, formalize privacy and cookie policies, and provide clear security incident contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based single-page application architecture with chunked JavaScript files served via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring good performance and scalability. Font Awesome Pro icons and Google Fonts are used for UI consistency. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. However, no CMS platform was explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO fine-tuning. The absence of security headers is a technical gap that should be addressed to improve security posture.
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.
