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

3 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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

PhotoDune operates within the competitive stock photography marketplace sector, leveraging Envato's ecosystem to provide millions of royalty-free images. Its business model centers on facilitating transactions between photographers and buyers, generating revenue through image sales and licensing. The platform's integration with Envato's other services, such as Envato Elements and Placeit, creates a synergistic partnership ecosystem that supports cross-promotion and customer retention. The target customer segments include creative professionals and marketers globally, supported by a large content library and competitive pricing. Growth indicators include a long domain history since 2010 and continuous technological updates. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining strong privacy compliance and expanding direct contact channels to enhance customer support and trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Cloudflare for DNS and security, and implementation of Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent. Security headers and CSRF tokens in forms indicate adherence to best practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. The use of third-party analytics and advertising networks is managed with transparency via cookie consent. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced documentation and explicit incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  5. Enhance direct contact options such as verified company emails or phone numbers for customer support.

The website is built on a modern and robust technology stack, likely Ruby on Rails with Turbo (Hotwire) for frontend interactivity. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and security, ensuring fast and secure content delivery. The integration of Cookiebot provides comprehensive cookie consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. Monitoring and analytics are handled via Datadog and Google Tag Manager, enabling performance tracking and user behavior analysis.

Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for modernization including enabling DNSSEC and expanding security documentation to reduce potential attack surfaces and improve user trust.
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.
