Security score

65/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Pikaio is a technology-driven company specializing in AI-generated professional portraits and branding photos, targeting individuals and businesses seeking high-quality visuals without traditional photoshoots. The website demonstrates a modern, professional design with clear service offerings and tiered pricing models. Technically, the site leverages modern CSS frameworks and secure payment integration via Stripe, ensuring a smooth user experience and secure transactions. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS usage and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, though the professional presentation and payment integration suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is mature and well-positioned but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security 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

7 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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Pikaio operates in the AI and digital imaging sector, offering innovative services that replace traditional photography with AI-generated images. Their business model is direct-to-consumer and business-focused, with clear pricing tiers and commercial usage rights. The company targets professionals, entrepreneurs, content creators, and individuals seeking personal branding or dating profile photos. The use of Stripe for payments indicates a reliable partnership ecosystem. Market positioning is as a niche AI imaging provider with a focus on quality and customization. Growth potential is indicated by the range of packages and revision options. The website's professional design and clear messaging support strong brand credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and secure payment processing, which are key strengths. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency. Privacy and cookie policies are not explicitly presented, which may impact GDPR compliance. The contact form is secured via POST but no direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, reducing direct communication channels for security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide direct contact information for security and incident response purposes.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Tailwind CSS for styling, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography, ensuring a visually appealing and responsive design. JavaScript is used for UI interactivity and payment link management. The site is mobile-optimized with smooth navigation and fast loading times. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident from the source. The absence of analytics scripts suggests minimal user tracking. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and policy pages indicates areas for modernization and compliance enhancement.
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.
