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

Mykola Kovalenko Studio is a small creative design studio specializing in graphic design services such as posters, logos, brand identity, advertising, and packaging. The website serves primarily as a portfolio showcasing a wide range of projects with visual examples and categorization. The studio targets clients seeking professional graphic design and branding solutions. The business has been active since at least 2003, as indicated by copyright information. Technically, the website uses common JavaScript libraries including jQuery, FancyBox, Masonry, and LazyLoad to enhance user experience and image presentation. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and has a clear navigation structure. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in SEO and accessibility. From a security perspective, the website lacks visible security headers and privacy-related policies. HTTPS status is unknown from the provided data but is recommended. No forms or sensitive data collection points are present in the analyzed HTML, reducing immediate risk exposure. Social media links provide additional trust signals but no direct contact emails or phone numbers are listed on the main page. Overall, the website is a professional portfolio with moderate technical maturity and limited security and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policies, and contact information would enhance trust and compliance.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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 studio operates in the creative design sector with a focus on visual branding and advertising materials. Its market position is that of an independent small business with a portfolio-driven approach to attract clients. Revenue likely derives from design services and an online shop, although the shop details are not visible in the provided content. The target customer segments include businesses and individuals seeking bespoke graphic design. The presence on multiple social media platforms indicates an active marketing and partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators are not explicit but the extensive portfolio suggests ongoing project activity. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with no advanced security headers or policies detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The lack of visible forms reduces attack surface but also limits user engagement options. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement HTTPS, security headers, and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and ensure all resources load securely.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Include clear contact information and a dedicated security or abuse contact email for incident response.
  5. Regularly update third-party libraries and monitor for vulnerabilities to maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward tech stack with jQuery and several UI enhancement libraries like FancyBox and Masonry. The use of Vanilla LazyLoad improves image loading performance. The site does not appear to use a CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks. Performance is moderate with potential improvements in SEO and accessibility. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive navigation menu. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user data collection. Technical risks include lack of security headers and unknown SSL configuration. Modernization opportunities include adopting a CMS or framework for easier content management and improving SEO metadata.
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.
