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

Focal Point Photography is a small UK-based commercial photography and videography service provider specializing in a wide range of professional imaging services including drone photography, industrial photography, corporate headshots, and more. The company positions itself as an award-winning specialist aiming to elevate brands through striking visual content. The website is built on the Squarespace platform, indicating a modern and user-friendly technical infrastructure with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though there is room for improvement in implementing additional security headers and privacy compliance measures.

Overall, the business appears credible with a clear market focus, though it should address privacy and domain registration issues to enhance 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

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. 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

  3. 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';…

  4. 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 company targets businesses requiring commercial photography and videography services, leveraging a diverse portfolio of offerings including aerial drone services and specialized photography sectors such as food and fashion. The business model is service-oriented, relying on direct client engagements. The website's integration with social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook supports marketing and client engagement efforts. The lack of explicit business registration or certification details limits deeper insights into corporate structure or scale. The domain registration anomaly suggests a need for administrative review to ensure domain ownership and continuity. The company’s award-winning claim and professional presentation provide competitive advantages in a niche market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with HSTS, ensuring encrypted communications and protection against protocol downgrade attacks. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting comprehensive security headers and privacy compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen website security.
  3. Review and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and ensure domain legitimacy.
  4. Provide clear contact information including business emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer support.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting and incident response.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It uses Google Fonts for typography and includes various Squarespace-specific scripts and stylesheets. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-hosted sites. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts were detected, indicating minimal tracking. The technical infrastructure is stable and professional but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations. The domain registration issue is a notable technical risk that should be addressed to avoid potential service disruptions.
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.
