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

Studio Kai Bergmann is a small photography business based in Leipzig, Germany, specializing in editorial, corporate, and portrait photography services primarily targeting companies, brands, and agencies in central Germany. The website serves as a professional portfolio showcasing their work and provides clear contact options including email and phone. The business appears well-positioned regionally with a focused service offering and a consistent brand presentation. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as JavaScript and CSS. It is mobile-optimized and includes basic SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace hosted site. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from enhanced security configurations such as DNSSEC and additional HTTP security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protections enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC and several recommended security headers, which could improve its resilience against certain attacks. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy in German, indicating GDPR awareness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security hardening and adding terms of service or security policies would enhance trust and protection.

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

  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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Studio Kai Bergmann operates as a focused photography service provider in the media sector, targeting corporate and editorial clients in the Leipzig and broader central Germany region. The business model centers on providing professional photography services showcased through an online portfolio. The company leverages Squarespace for digital presence, indicating a lean operational model without heavy custom infrastructure. The website's clear contact details and portfolio suggest a direct client engagement approach. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are limited but consistent with a small, specialized creative business. The marketing tools used are primarily Squarespace's built-in features, with no extensive third-party tracking or advertising networks detected.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain status includes clientTransferProhibited, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity to secure DNS integrity. The absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Forms appear minimal and secure, with no complex data collection that could introduce risks. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could be a gap in preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could be improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Activate HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS usage and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Consider adding terms of service to clarify user and client agreements and improve legal protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its standard JavaScript and CSS assets. The use of Typekit fonts and Squarespace's content delivery network ensures consistent styling and reasonable performance. The site is mobile responsive and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is moderate, typical for a managed CMS platform. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is no evidence of custom backend frameworks or complex integrations. The technical debt is low due to reliance on Squarespace, but this also limits customization and advanced security configurations. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and DNS configurations without impacting 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.
