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

Michal Šimonfy's website serves as a comprehensive portfolio showcasing his digital and new media artworks, including installations, netart, and public space actions. The site targets art enthusiasts, galleries, and cultural institutions, positioning the artist as an independent creative professional with international recognition and awards. The business model is centered on artistic presentation rather than commercial transactions. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, supplemented by Google Analytics and New Relic for monitoring. While the site is functional and moderately optimized, it lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms and could benefit from improved mobile responsiveness and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. No forms or sensitive data collection are present, reducing risk exposure. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and modernization of technical components to improve user experience 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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

The website reflects a small-scale, independent artist operation focused on digital and new media art. The artist has a solid academic background and a history of exhibitions and awards, indicating a reputable market position within the art community. The portfolio approach suggests a non-commercial business model aimed at visibility and cultural engagement rather than direct sales. Social media integration supports community interaction and professional networking. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or complex business structures. Revenue streams are likely project-based or grant-supported rather than e-commerce. The site’s content and structure emphasize artistic credibility and professional presentation, which are critical for securing exhibitions and collaborations. Growth indicators include international exposure and participation in festivals and conferences.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, which is essential for data integrity and user trust. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents a missed opportunity to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.10.2) could expose the site to known JavaScript vulnerabilities if exploited. No forms or user input fields reduce the attack surface. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response mechanisms and vulnerability disclosure policies are not present, which could delay mitigation in case of security events. Overall, the site is low risk but could improve its security maturity by adopting best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common attacks.
  3. Update third-party libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with jQuery 1.10.2 as a key library. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates Google Analytics and New Relic for performance and usage monitoring. The site does not appear to use a CMS or advanced frameworks, indicating a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is basic, with viewport meta tags present but no advanced responsive design frameworks detected. Accessibility features are minimal. SEO is basic with meta description and keywords but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the use of HTTPS and external CDNs for fonts and scripts suggests a standard hosting environment. There is no evidence of technical debt beyond the outdated jQuery version. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance SEO and accessibility.
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.
