Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.kishibashi.com serves as the official online presence for the music artist Kishi Bashi, focusing on promoting new albums, tour dates, and news updates. The site integrates multiple third-party platforms such as Bandsintown for event management, ConvertKit for newsletter subscriptions, and social media channels for audience engagement. The technical infrastructure is built on Squarespace CMS, leveraging modern web technologies and multimedia content to provide a rich user experience. However, the site lacks published privacy and cookie policies, which poses compliance risks, especially under GDPR. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing advanced security headers and DNSSEC. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces domain trustworthiness, though the site content and social media presence support legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

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

Kishi Bashi operates as an independent music artist with a clear focus on media and entertainment. The business model revolves around music sales, live event ticketing, and merchandise. The website targets music fans and concert attendees primarily in the US and Canada, with some international presence indicated by a Japanese partner site. The artist maintains active engagement through social media and third-party platforms, indicating a growth-oriented approach. The lack of explicit business registration or contact information on the site suggests a small-scale operation typical of independent artists. The partnership with kishibashi.jp and integration with major streaming and ticketing services enhance market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of key security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and downgrade attacks. No DNSSEC is detected, and WHOIS data is missing, which could indicate privacy protection or recent registration but reduces transparency. The site uses multiple tracking pixels and analytics services without visible cookie consent mechanisms, raising privacy compliance concerns. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting preparedness visibility. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, improvements in security headers and privacy disclosures are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header to strengthen HTTPS usage.
  2. Add Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Disclose contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a security policy or vulnerability disclosure program.
  5. Investigate and clarify WHOIS data status to improve domain transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its built-in CMS features and integrations. It incorporates modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading, YouTube iframe API for video content, and multiple analytics and tracking scripts from Facebook, TikTok, Google, and AEG Presents. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses web fonts from Adobe Typekit. Performance is moderate, with some heavy multimedia content and external script dependencies. SEO is basic with canonical tags and Open Graph metadata present but minimal descriptive content. Accessibility features are basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or advanced accessibility markup detected. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for an artist site 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.
