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. It provides comprehensive information about the artist's latest album releases, tour dates, news updates, and merchandise sales. The site targets music fans and enthusiasts, offering direct links to ticket sales and streaming platforms. The business model is focused on artist promotion and direct-to-fan engagement through digital channels. Technically, the site is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party integrations such as Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Google Tag Manager for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and multimedia content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS but lacks several important security headers, which could be improved to enhance protection. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, although the site content and integrations suggest a legitimate and active business. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from improved privacy disclosures and enhanced security headers to strengthen trust and compliance.

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 global touring schedule and digital distribution through major platforms like Spotify and iTunes. The website acts as a hub for fan engagement, ticket sales, and merchandise. The partnership ecosystem includes Bandsintown for tour management and Crunchyroll for video premieres, indicating strategic collaborations to expand reach. The business model relies on direct fan interaction and digital sales, with growth potential through expanded marketing and improved privacy practices. The site’s consistent branding and active content updates reflect a focused approach to audience retention and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of critical security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks like clickjacking and content injection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party tracking pixels introduces privacy considerations that should be managed with clear user consent mechanisms. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is secure for general use but requires enhancements to meet higher security and privacy standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to inform users and comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking technologies.
  4. Clarify and publish contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  5. Review and audit third-party scripts and pixels for privacy impact and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace, a modern CMS platform that provides hosting, content management, and e-commerce capabilities. It uses asynchronous loading of scripts for Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Google Tag Manager, optimizing performance. The site includes embedded YouTube videos and integrates with ConvertKit for newsletter subscriptions. The design is responsive and visually appealing with multimedia content and structured data for SEO. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and SEO optimization. The technical stack is current but could benefit from additional security configurations and privacy features to align with best 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.
