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

Dan Taylor Photography is a professional photography business based in London, specializing in tech and corporate event photography. The website showcases a portfolio featuring high-profile clients and media publications, positioning the business as a niche player in the media sector. The technical infrastructure is based on the 22Slides platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as Google Analytics and Typekit fonts, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS implied, but lacks important security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security 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

9 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"

      • 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 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

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 business targets corporate clients and tech industry professionals, leveraging a portfolio that includes notable figures and media outlets. The business model revolves around providing specialized photography services for events, fashion, and editorial projects. Market positioning is strong within its niche, supported by trust indicators such as published work in Bloomberg and WSJ. The website does not reveal detailed business size or founding year but appears to be a small, focused operation. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related domains were identified.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact channels. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking, but no explicit data retention or privacy compliance details are provided.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including business emails and phone numbers to improve trust and business credibility.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and SEO.

Key observations

  1. Website is a professional photography portfolio for Dan Taylor, specializing in tech and corporate events.
  2. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies found, indicating compliance gaps.
  3. No contact emails or phone numbers explicitly found in the HTML content provided.
  4. Uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking.
  5. No security headers detected; HTTPS is implied but not confirmed in provided data.
  6. No forms detected in the provided HTML snippet.
  7. No social media links explicitly found in the provided content.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the 22Slides platform, utilizing modern web fonts from Typekit and tracking via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social sharing. Performance is moderate with optimized images and responsive design at a basic level. There is no evidence of CMS beyond 22Slides, and hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and privacy compliance documents indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
