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

Kenneth Ormandy is a personal portfolio website showcasing the work of a designer based in Vancouver, BC. The site presents a professional and clean design, targeting potential clients or collaborators interested in design services. The business model is primarily personal branding and portfolio presentation, with no direct e-commerce or large-scale business operations. The website leverages modern web technologies such as Gatsby and React, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. It uses Fathom Analytics for visitor tracking, emphasizing privacy. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and trustworthy as a personal portfolio but could improve compliance and 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

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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 Kenneth Ormandy as an individual design professional with a focus on personal branding. The market position is that of a small-scale, independent designer targeting clients likely in creative or digital sectors. The business model is service-oriented, relying on portfolio presentation rather than direct sales. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The site’s longevity since 2010 indicates stability. The use of modern web frameworks suggests a commitment to quality user experience. However, the absence of formal privacy and cookie policies may limit appeal to privacy-conscious clients or regions with strict regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the domain has clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The use of Fathom Analytics is a positive privacy indicator, but overall compliance with GDPR or similar regulations is not evident. The site would benefit from adding security policies, privacy notices, and technical security enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Add a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a security contact or abuse email to facilitate incident response.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Gatsby, a React-based static site generator, which contributes to fast loading times and good SEO. The use of modern CSS and JavaScript frameworks ensures a responsive and accessible design. Hosting appears to be managed via NameCheap, with no CMS detected, indicating a static or JAMstack approach. Analytics are handled by Fathom, a privacy-focused service, which aligns with modern privacy standards. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers but overall demonstrates a solid technical foundation with room for improvement in security and compliance.
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.
