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

Follow.art is an innovative online platform launched in 2020 that serves as a next-generation network for artists and curators to showcase portfolios, connect globally, and gain professional recognition. The platform positions itself as an algorithm-free creative community aiming to revolutionize the traditional art world barriers. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and integrates analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and user experience, although accessibility features are basic. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, and does not publish privacy or security policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and professional but could improve privacy compliance and security posture.

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

6 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 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 artists and curators worldwide, offering services such as portfolio showcasing, networking, and professional visibility. Its business model revolves around creating a dynamic, algorithm-free community platform. The domain age and registration details align with a startup or emerging platform. The absence of contact information and formal policies may limit trust for some users. The platform leverages partnerships with major analytics and tracking providers but does not disclose affiliate or advertising partnerships. Growth potential exists given the niche focus and innovative positioning in the art sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, indicating some security awareness. However, the lack of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing immediate attack surface, but the absence of privacy and cookie consent policies suggests compliance gaps. Tracking scripts are present, which require proper user consent under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but needs enhancements in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear contact information including support and security incident contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with server-side rendering capabilities, improving SEO and performance. Hosting is on AWS, indicated by DNS nameservers. Analytics and tracking are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel, with DataDog for monitoring. The site is mobile optimized and has good design consistency. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic, and SEO meta tags are present but could be enhanced with structured data. No forms or input fields were found, limiting data collection points.
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.
