Security score

46/100

Risk levelHigh

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

pixeldiversity GmbH is a German-based small technology company specializing in web services such as domain registration, web hosting, web design, cloud services, and nature-related research and photography. The company targets businesses and individuals seeking professional web presence and digital solutions. The website is professionally designed using WordPress CMS and common web technologies, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and branding are consistent and professional. Overall, the site scores well in content quality and business credibility but should improve security and privacy practices.

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

10 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 company operates in a niche market combining web services and specialized research in ornithology and nature photography. Its business model focuses on service provision to local and regional clients, leveraging expertise in web technologies and scientific research. The presence of social media and research profiles indicates engagement with academic and professional communities. The lack of detailed company registration data and domain WHOIS information suggests a need for improved transparency. The company appears to maintain a stable online presence with a consistent brand and legal compliance in terms of imprint and privacy policy. Growth potential may be enhanced by expanding digital marketing and security posture.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that help mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The contact form is present but no explicit security measures or data protection statements are visible. The absence of WHOIS data reduces trust in domain legitimacy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing best practices and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements and improve privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using WPBakery Page Builder, jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome for UI components. The site loads moderate performance with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve operational resilience.
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.
