Security score

67/100

Risk levelMedium

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

lookphotos is a specialized German image agency focusing on travel, nature, outdoor, adventure, and lifestyle photography. It operates as a business unit of Image Professionals GmbH, offering curated image collections, photographer portfolios, and image reservation services. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, targeting professional clients seeking high-quality photographic content. Technically, the site uses jQuery, React 15.4.0, and Matomo analytics with cookies disabled, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces transparency but does not significantly impact perceived legitimacy given the professional presentation and detailed contact information. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements.

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

4 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

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 niche image agency in the media sector, focusing on travel and lifestyle photography. Its business model revolves around licensing curated photographic content and providing personalized image research and reservation services. The target audience includes media professionals, publishers, and marketing agencies. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem with related brands and subsidiaries under Image Professionals GmbH. Growth indicators include active social media presence and a regularly updated blog. The website's clear structure and professional content support effective customer engagement and brand trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies indicates privacy-conscious tracking. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is evident through a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements in header implementation and incident response transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update third-party libraries such as React and jQuery to their latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Conduct accessibility audits and improvements to ensure compliance with accessibility standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery and React 15.4.0, indicating a hybrid legacy and modern JavaScript stack. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-focused user tracking with cookies disabled. The site includes CSS3 animations and responsive design elements, supporting good mobile optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization and modern framework upgrades. The site structure and meta tags support good SEO. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. Hosting provider details are not available from the data.
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.
