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

living4media is a specialized image agency focusing on interior design, furnishing, decorating, DIY, and gardening imagery and editorial features. It operates as a medium-sized German company, Image Professionals GmbH, offering a unique collection of rights-managed and royalty-free images alongside high-quality features. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear contact information, targeting interior design professionals and media agencies globally. Technically, the site uses jQuery, React 15.4.0, and Matomo analytics with privacy-conscious settings, delivering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and privacy-aware analytics, though it lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data is missing, which slightly impacts trust but the overall legitimacy is supported by professional content and structured data. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding cookie consent, and publishing security policies to improve compliance and trust.

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

    • 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

  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

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 company holds a strong market position as a leading provider of interior design and living-related images and features. Its business model revolves around licensing images and editorial content, supported by personalized service for image selection and rights clearance. The presence of multiple international subdomains and partner brands indicates a broad geographic reach and partnership ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include image licensing fees and feature content subscriptions. The company targets media professionals, decorators, and publishers, leveraging its curated content and professional network. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to strengthen compliance and security transparency to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo with cookies disabled). However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. GDPR compliance is indicated by the privacy policy, but the missing cookie consent mechanism is a compliance risk. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with EU cookie laws and enhance privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure consistency and legitimacy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery and React 15.4.0 for frontend interactivity, with Matomo analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and rich snippets. The site supports multiple languages and country-specific subdomains, indicating a scalable international infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and optimized image thumbnails. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of cookie consent mechanism, which should be addressed to improve 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.
