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

Nicole Pfister's website serves as a portfolio platform showcasing her work as a filmmaker, illustrator, art director, and photographer. The site targets a general audience interested in creative media and artistic projects. The business operates as a small independent creative professional entity based in Switzerland, focusing on visual and media arts. The website content is primarily image-based, highlighting various projects without extensive textual content or interactive features. Technically, the website is built with basic HTML and CSS, lacking modern frameworks, CMS, or advanced scripting. There are no detected analytics, tracking, or advertising technologies, indicating a minimalistic digital footprint. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO practices are minimal but present through meta tags. Performance is moderate given the image-heavy content. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. No forms or data collection mechanisms are present, reducing some risk vectors. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website content, showing consistency and legitimacy. However, the absence of HTTPS confirmation and security best practices lowers the security posture. Overall, the website is a straightforward portfolio with moderate technical maturity and limited security measures. Strategic improvements in security headers, HTTPS enforcement, and privacy compliance would enhance trust and protection for visitors.

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

      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';…

  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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Nicole Pfister positions herself as a creative professional in the media sector, offering services in filmmaking, illustration, art direction, and photography. The business model is service and portfolio-based, targeting clients and audiences interested in artistic media. The website acts as a showcase rather than a transactional platform, indicating a focus on brand building and client acquisition through visual presentation. There is no indication of partnerships, subsidiaries, or complex business structures. The market position is that of an independent artist with a niche audience. Revenue streams likely derive from commissioned projects and creative collaborations. The absence of social media links or external partnerships on this page suggests a self-contained digital presence.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with significant gaps. The lack of HTTPS confirmation in the provided data is a critical issue, as secure transport is mandatory for protecting user data and trust. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency and preparedness. However, the lack of forms and data collection reduces exposure to input-based vulnerabilities. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing standard security best practices and compliance measures to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS across the entire website to ensure secure data transmission.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Include visible and verified contact information for security incident response and general inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML and CSS without any detected JavaScript frameworks, CMS, or external libraries. The structure is simple and image-heavy, which may impact loading times depending on image optimization. There is no evidence of mobile-responsive design beyond basic scaling. SEO is minimal but includes meta tags for description and keywords. Accessibility features are limited, with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts indicates minimal data collection. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not provided, limiting full technical assessment. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could be modernized to improve performance, accessibility, and security.
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.
