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

Hayk.design is a personal portfolio website for Hayk An, a modular designer and developer. The site showcases various design systems and development projects, targeting designers, developers, and tech enthusiasts. The business model is primarily personal branding and portfolio presentation, with a small market presence focused on niche design and development services. The website is built using modern technologies including React and is hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. However, accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking security headers and DNSSEC. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no contact information is provided, which limits compliance and trust. Overall, the site is professional and safe but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

8 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. 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';…

  3. 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 website positions itself as a personal portfolio for a designer/developer with a focus on modular design and design systems. It leverages modern web technologies and hosting platforms to deliver a fast and responsive experience. The absence of business contact details and policies suggests a low scale, personal operation rather than a commercial enterprise. The site links to multiple project demos hosted on GitHub Pages, indicating active development and sharing of work. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The business model is straightforward, relying on showcasing skills and projects rather than direct sales or services. Growth potential depends on personal branding and portfolio visibility.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and reputable hosting (Vercel), which provides a secure transport layer. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No forms or input fields reduce attack surface, but lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Google Analytics is used without visible consent mechanisms, which may raise privacy concerns under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with standard security headers, privacy policies, and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Provide clear contact information and a security policy to support incident response and trust.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with React and served via Vercel, ensuring modern infrastructure and fast performance. It uses Google Fonts for typography and Google Analytics for user tracking. The HTML is valid and includes meta viewport tags for mobile responsiveness. However, SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data present. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. No CMS is detected, indicating a static or SPA approach. No forms or interactive data collection elements are present, reducing complexity and risk. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and efficient but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
