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

Image Professionals GmbH operates a specialized premium content platform aggregating leading international niche image agencies. The company targets media professionals and creative industries, offering licensed images, videos, and editorial services. Their market position is strong within the specialized media content sector, supported by a portfolio of reputable partner agencies. Technically, the website employs a modern but somewhat dated tech stack including React 15.4.0 and jQuery, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with cookies disabled), but lacks some security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, slightly reducing trust but the professional presentation and structured data support legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed, content-rich, and trustworthy for its audience.

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

5 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention imageprofessionals.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company leverages a multi-brand strategy to serve specialized image content markets such as food, garden, science, and lifestyle. Their business model includes licensing, custom productions, and editorial support, appealing to professional media buyers and agencies. The presence of multiple partner brands enhances market reach and content diversity. The website's clear navigation, comprehensive contact info, and social media presence indicate a mature digital marketing approach. Absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not outweigh the strong business signals. The company appears medium-sized with a focused niche in the media sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and privacy-respecting analytics. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a cookie consent mechanism are notable gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from implementing recommended headers and formal security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Update JavaScript libraries such as React and jQuery to their latest secure versions to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of React 15.4.0 and jQuery, along with Slick Carousel for UI components, and Matomo for analytics with cookies disabled to respect privacy. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and business information. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, though accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
