Risk levelHigh

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

Melanie Moore's website serves as a personal portfolio showcasing her artwork, studio news, and background information. The site targets art enthusiasts and potential clients, providing a platform for engagement and possible sales through WooCommerce. The business model is focused on personal branding and art sales within a niche market. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, with common plugins such as WooCommerce and Jetpack, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and has a good user experience, though SEO and accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and Wordfence scripts present, but lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies, which are compliance gaps. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to reduce risk and improve 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

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. 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';…

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 positions Melanie Moore as an independent artist with a focus on portfolio presentation and studio updates. The business model appears to be direct-to-consumer art sales and personal branding. The presence of WooCommerce suggests e-commerce capabilities, though no detailed product or sales data is visible. The target audience includes art collectors, galleries, and followers. The site lacks visible partnerships or subsidiaries, indicating a small-scale operation. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal marketing tools and absence of detailed analytics beyond Jetpack Stats. The partnership ecosystem is minimal, with social media presence primarily on Facebook and a deprecated Google Plus link. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve marketing, privacy compliance, and security to enhance credibility and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and the presence of Wordfence security plugin scripts, indicating some level of protection. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security effectiveness. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and similar regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML, which is positive. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency, header implementation, and compliance documentation to reduce risk and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance marketing and analytics capabilities with privacy-respecting tools to better understand and grow the audience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a standard WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a modern and flexible design framework. The tech stack includes WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, Jetpack for analytics and security features, and jQuery for frontend scripting. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted resources like Google Fonts. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features, indicating technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small personal portfolio but has room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
