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

Olivia Swinscoe Photography is a professional photography portfolio website showcasing diverse photographic works including landscapes, wildlife, cityscapes, and travel photography. The site targets photography enthusiasts and potential clients interested in commissioning photographic work. The business operates on a commission-based model, leveraging a visually rich portfolio to attract clients. The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its CMS and infrastructure, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. The technical stack includes Typekit fonts and standard web technologies. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance documentation. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website content appears legitimate and professional. Overall, the site is functional and visually appealing but would benefit from enhanced security practices and compliance documentation.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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

    • 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

The business positions itself as an independent photographer with a niche in nature and travel photography. The portfolio-centric website serves as a marketing tool to showcase work and attract commissions. The lack of detailed business information, contact details, and compliance policies limits trust and may impact client confidence. The Instagram social media presence supports brand visibility. The business appears small-scale and focused on artistic photography services. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The website's clean design and consistent branding support a professional image but could be improved with more comprehensive business disclosures.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption, ensuring secure data transmission. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No forms or data collection mechanisms were detected, reducing exposure to input-based attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a gap in compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The WHOIS data unavailability reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including business email and phone number to improve credibility and customer support.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate proactive security management.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability issues to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CMS capabilities and hosting infrastructure. It uses Typekit fonts for typography and standard JavaScript and CSS for interactivity and styling. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive design and features a slideshow gallery for portfolio presentation. Performance is moderate, with no significant delays or errors detected. SEO optimization is basic, with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data present but lacking detailed descriptions. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. There is no evidence of third-party analytics or tracking scripts, which limits data collection but enhances privacy. The technical setup is stable but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
