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

Karenina Illustration is a small independent artist based in Hamburg, Germany, specializing in mixed media illustrations combining vector art with found materials. The website serves as a portfolio and client showcase, targeting art enthusiasts and potential clients interested in unique illustration styles. The business operates primarily as a creative service provider with a niche market position. Technically, the site is built on the Jimdo Creator platform, utilizing jQuery and legacy Flash content, which poses compatibility and security concerns. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but the absence of security headers and presence of Flash content reduce the overall security maturity. Privacy compliance is good with a visible privacy policy and cookie controls, though no terms of service or incident response policies are published. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy for its scope but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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

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.

    • 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 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. 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 business operates in the creative arts sector, focusing on illustration services with a unique mixed media approach. Its market positioning is niche and localized to Hamburg, Germany, with a small business size and a founding year of 2008. Revenue streams likely include commissioned artwork and client projects. The website supports marketing efforts through a newsletter subscription powered by Mailchimp and maintains a Facebook presence for social engagement. The partnership ecosystem is limited, with no identified subsidiaries or partners. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for growth through improved digital presence, enhanced security, and expanded contact transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the presence of legacy Flash content introduces security and compatibility risks. No advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could mitigate common web attacks. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities such as exposed credentials or malicious scripts are evident, but modernization is recommended to reduce attack surface and improve compliance with current best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Remove or replace legacy Flash content with modern HTML5 or JavaScript alternatives to improve security and compatibility.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web threats.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Increase contact information transparency by adding verified company emails and phone numbers to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on the Jimdo Creator platform, leveraging Jimdo's CDN and infrastructure. It uses jQuery and includes legacy Flash content embedded in the sidebar, which is outdated and unsupported by most modern browsers. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and JavaScript files from Jimdo's static asset servers. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible by removing Flash and improving mobile responsiveness. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no structured JSON-LD data detected. Accessibility features are minimal, with some focus-visible outlines but no ARIA landmarks or roles identified. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but dated, requiring modernization to meet current web standards and security expectations.
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.
