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

The website lychkovskiy.com serves as a professional portfolio for Mikhail Lychkovskiy, a contemporary designer and poster artist. The site showcases a comprehensive gallery of poster artworks, emphasizing typographic treatment and a blend of national graphic styles. The business operates primarily as an independent artist, targeting design enthusiasts and art collectors, with sales facilitated through external shop links. The domain is relatively new, registered in 2022, aligning with the artist's career timeline. Technically, the website is built on the Adobe Portfolio platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Adobe Typekit fonts. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics and tracking purposes. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and user experience, with clear navigation and professional design quality. However, accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is moderate. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protections in place. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no privacy or cookie policies found, and no GDPR compliance indicators present. Contact information is limited to a single email address, with no phone numbers or physical addresses provided. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional portfolio for an independent artist but would benefit from enhanced privacy policies, security headers, and clearer compliance documentation to improve its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. 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

      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

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

Mikhail Lychkovskiy positions himself as a niche contemporary poster artist with a focus on typographic and national graphic style fusion. The business model revolves around showcasing artistic works and directing visitors to external shops for purchases, indicating a sales channel through partnerships or third-party platforms. The target market includes art collectors, design professionals, and enthusiasts interested in poster art. The website's consistent branding and professional presentation support a credible market presence. Growth indicators include recent works dated up to 2025, suggesting ongoing active creation and exhibition participation. The partnership with Eastside Studio London for product collections indicates strategic collaboration within the art retail ecosystem.

Security posture

The website maintains a basic but adequate security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections active. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents potential vulnerabilities to DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No forms or input fields were detected that could expose the site to injection attacks, reducing immediate risk. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance gaps, including missing privacy and cookie policies, expose the site to regulatory risks under GDPR and similar frameworks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add a dedicated security contact or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Adobe Portfolio as its CMS platform, ensuring a stable and visually appealing presentation. The use of Adobe Typekit fonts and Google Tag Manager indicates adoption of modern web technologies and analytics tools. Performance is moderate, with responsive design supporting mobile devices effectively. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and comprehensive SEO meta tags beyond basic keywords and descriptions. No CMS-specific vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting is managed via NameCheap, with domain registration consistent and secure. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist for security and compliance 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.
