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

Gatis Vanags is a small-scale artistic and commercial photography and graphic design portfolio website based in Latvia. The site showcases fine art photography and graphic services, targeting a general audience interested in art and photography. The business model appears to be a personal or boutique service provider without extensive commercial infrastructure. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common JavaScript libraries and plugins for galleries and lightbox effects. The site is moderately optimized with basic mobile and accessibility features, but lacks advanced SEO and structured data. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers and no visible security or privacy policies. No contact information or forms are present on the homepage, limiting user engagement and trust signals. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, reducing domain trust assessment confidence. Overall, the website is functional and safe but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, security hardening, and enhanced business credibility features.

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. 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. 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 website positions itself as a personal portfolio for an artist/photographer named Gatis Vanags, offering fine art and commercial photography alongside graphic and logo design services. The target market is likely local or niche art consumers in Latvia. The business operates on a small scale without visible partnerships or subsidiaries. Revenue streams likely come from commissioned photography and graphic design projects. The site lacks visible marketing or analytics tools, indicating a low digital marketing maturity. The absence of contact details and policies suggests limited customer engagement infrastructure. The business could improve market positioning by adding trust signals, contact channels, and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a positive security baseline. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important to mitigate common web attacks. No security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, indicating low security maturity. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also suggests non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No forms or input fields reduce attack surface but also limit user interaction. Overall, the security posture is basic and should be improved to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including email and phone to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Introduce a security.txt file or a dedicated security contact page to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  5. Enhance technical SEO and accessibility features to improve website performance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with several JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Prototype, and Scriptaculous, along with plugins for gallery and lightbox functionality. The HTML structure is valid and includes canonical URLs and RSS feeds. Performance is moderate with some legacy scripts (e.g., Prototype and Scriptaculous) that could be modernized. Mobile optimization is basic but present. No advanced SEO structured data or Open Graph tags were found, limiting social media integration and search engine visibility. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical stack is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
