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

PHOTORED SIA is a Latvian photography agency specializing in high-quality professional photo and video services for both businesses and private individuals. Their offerings include business story photoshoots, architecture and interior photography, event reportage, drone photo and video materials, seminar and conference photography, and product photography. The company maintains a professional online portfolio and active social media presence, targeting local clients in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS with HSTS enabled, but lacks some advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent banner present but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve 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

9 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. 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

  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 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

PHOTORED operates as a small, specialized service provider in the photography sector within Latvia. Their business model focuses on delivering tailored photo and video content to corporate and private clients. The company leverages a portfolio-driven marketing approach supported by social media channels such as Facebook and Instagram. The absence of privacy policies and WHOIS transparency suggests room for maturity in governance and compliance. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand and professional content quality, positioning itself as a reliable local photography agency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. However, the absence of additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate moderate security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager, which implies user tracking but no explicit data retention or privacy compliance details were found. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited readiness for coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with formal policies and enhanced headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a security incident response contact or page to facilitate reporting and transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible security reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing its hosting and CDN infrastructure. It incorporates Google Fonts and Typekit for typography and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking and marketing analytics. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with a masonry gallery layout. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting good SEO practices with meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but provides a generally good user experience. Technical risks are low, but reliance on third-party services and lack of explicit security policies could be areas for future improvement.
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.
