The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, it leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

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

Pikwizard operates in the media sector as a free stock media provider, offering a vast library of images, videos, and templates to a global audience of creative professionals and marketers. Its business model relies on free access to content supplemented by affiliate partnerships with premium stock providers like Adobe Stock. The platform's market position is strengthened by its large content volume and no-attribution licensing, appealing to a broad user base. The company maintains partnerships with content creators and related service providers, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with frequent content updates and seasonal thematic assets. The absence of physical address or phone contact suggests a primarily digital operation. Strategic observations include potential to expand privacy compliance and security transparency to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site lacks published incident response or security policies, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with a comprehensive privacy policy but no visible cookie consent mechanism, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR and similar regulations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by implementing additional headers, DNSSEC, and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact information to improve privacy governance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily React and Next.js, which supports server-side rendering and optimized performance. It integrates third-party services such as Vimeo for video playback and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The hosting appears to be on Amazon infrastructure, providing scalability and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) extensively for SEO benefits. Performance is fast with preloading of key assets and images. There is no evidence of a traditional CMS; the platform appears custom-built. Technical risks are minimal but include missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC. The site uses affiliate marketing links for premium content, indicating a hybrid content monetization strategy.
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.
