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

Mihail FoodPhotographer is a professional food photography service based in Latvia, specializing in high-quality food, product, interior, and people photography. The business is internationally recognized with multiple awards from 2021 through 2025, positioning itself as a top-tier food photographer in the EU market. The website serves as a portfolio and contact point for clients, showcasing extensive photographic work and emphasizing professional service offerings including food styling and social media marketing support. Technically, the website is built on the Vigbo CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and tracking tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Osano CMP for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. However, some security best practices like security headers and incident response information are missing. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent but lacks comprehensive privacy and terms of service documentation. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, which limits domain trust verification. The site does not expose vulnerabilities or sensitive data but could improve by adding security headers and formal policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, with moderate user tracking and advertising practices. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security posture would 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

10 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

  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

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 operates in the niche market of professional food photography, targeting commercial clients such as restaurants, food producers, cookbook authors, and advertising agencies primarily in Latvia and the EU. Its competitive advantage lies in international awards and a comprehensive service offering including food styling and retouching. The business model is service-based, relying on commissioned photography projects. The website supports client acquisition through portfolio display and contact facilitation. The presence of social media links and marketing tools indicates active digital marketing efforts. Growth potential is supported by recognized industry accolades and a professional online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of a consent management platform. However, it lacks important security headers and formalized privacy and incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification. Compliance with GDPR is partial, as cookie consent is implemented but privacy policy is missing. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls, documented policies, and incident response contact information to improve its security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Include incident response contact information such as a security@ or abuse@ email address to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly review and update tracking and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Vigbo CMS platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.3.1. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Osano CMP for analytics and consent management. The site loads scripts asynchronously to optimize performance and is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. However, it lacks advanced accessibility features and some security best practices such as security headers. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional online presence with room for security and compliance enhancements.
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.
