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. 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

  2. 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.

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

Adobe Stock operates within the technology sector, focusing on digital media licensing and creative content distribution. Its business model is subscription and on-demand licensing, serving a global audience of creative professionals and enterprises. The company leverages Adobe's extensive ecosystem and brand recognition to maintain a competitive advantage. Revenue streams include subscription plans, credit packs, and premium content sales. The partnership ecosystem includes Adobe account services and creative platforms, enhancing user engagement and retention. Growth indicators include feature flag usage and continuous platform enhancements. Strategic observations highlight Adobe's focus on integration, user experience, and compliance as key to sustaining market leadership.

Security posture

Adobe Stock exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of monitoring tools like New Relic. The site avoids exposing sensitive data and employs best practices in script management and content security policies. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms. However, no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, suggesting an area for improvement. The absence of public security certifications or DPO contact information is noted but typical for large enterprises managing these internally. Overall, the security culture appears strong with room for enhanced transparency and incident communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicize a dedicated vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to enhance transparency and community engagement.
  2. Publish incident response policies or contact channels to improve trust and readiness communication.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to achieve excellent compliance and inclusivity.
  5. Maintain ongoing GDPR compliance audits and update privacy notices as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based SPA architecture, utilizing GraphQL APIs for data fetching. It leverages Adobe's proprietary content delivery infrastructure and integrates Typekit for fonts. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading, preconnect hints, and CDN usage. Monitoring and analytics are implemented via New Relic and Adobe Marketing Tech tools. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal, primarily related to third-party script dependencies and the complexity of SPA routing. Opportunities exist to further enhance accessibility and streamline script loading for improved performance.
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.
