The website boasts a large catalog with over 6 million images and supports a community of over 100,000 artists worldwide. The business operates globally with 16 manufacturing centers and emphasizes supporting living artists. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics.

Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly, but could improve transparency and compliance with privacy regulations.

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

5 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. 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

  3. 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
  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.pixels.com points to unregistered service staging-1482050140.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Pixels holds a strong market position as one of the largest online art marketplaces, targeting consumers interested in art and independent artists seeking to sell their work. The business model is print-on-demand e-commerce, generating revenue through product sales and artist commissions. The platform's partnerships with iconic brands and a large artist base provide competitive advantages. Growth indicators include a large product catalog, global manufacturing footprint, and a long operational history since 2006. The company appears independent with no parent or subsidiaries listed. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy compliance and security disclosures to strengthen customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and use of reputable hosting providers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. Tracking scripts are used responsibly but without explicit cookie consent, which may pose compliance risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security score is good but could be enhanced by enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to ensure minimal privacy impact and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5, supported by Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Hosting is on Amazon AWS, providing scalability and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses slick slider for UI components. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing privacy compliance features. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
