Risk levelCritical

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

Matin is a small, specialized art gallery established in 2004 by Robert and Christina Odegard in Los Angeles, California. The business focuses on artisan jewelry, bronze sculptures, custom furniture, and contemporary art, targeting art collectors and design enthusiasts. The website reflects a professional design with consistent branding and a clear navigation structure, although content is somewhat limited to product categories and contact information. Technically, the site is built on the icompendium CMS platform with a React frontend and hosted on a DigitalOcean IP. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, serving content over HTTP only, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, and Google Analytics is not fully configured, indicating gaps in privacy compliance and analytics maturity. Security headers are minimal, and modern TLS protocols are unsupported, exposing the site to potential risks. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate business credibility but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and protect user data.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Matin operates in the niche retail sector of art and design, offering curated artisan products and custom furniture. Its market position is that of a boutique gallery with a focused audience interested in high-quality, handcrafted items. The business model relies on direct sales and gallery exhibitions, supported by a modest online presence. The Instagram social media link suggests engagement with a visual and design-conscious audience. The lack of extensive contact details and absence of physical addresses online may limit customer trust and outreach. The company appears stable with a consistent brand identity but could benefit from expanding digital marketing and improving transparency around policies and certifications.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is critical for protecting data in transit. Security headers are minimal, and no advanced protections like HSTS or OCSP stapling are enabled. The session cookie is configured with secure and httponly flags, which is a positive practice. No known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the lack of TLS support and certificate transparency compliance are significant concerns. Privacy policies and incident response contacts are missing, indicating low maturity in compliance and security governance. Immediate remediation is recommended to secure the site and align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Enable security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to harden the site.
  4. Configure Google Analytics with a valid tracking ID and ensure privacy compliance in data collection.
  5. Establish incident response contacts and security policies to improve transparency and readiness.
Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a modern frontend framework (React) and a PHP Laravel backend managed via the icompendium CMS platform. Hosting is on a DigitalOcean IP, indicating a cloud-based infrastructure. The site includes multiple image assets served via CloudFront CDN and uses Google Fonts. Performance metrics are missing, but the large number of loaded assets and lack of caching headers suggest potential slowness. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and mobile navigation support. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no structured JSON-LD data. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Technical debt includes the lack of HTTPS and incomplete analytics setup, which should be addressed to improve overall digital maturity.
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.
