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

Prestige Photography By Russell Griffith is a small, established photography service provider based in Solihull, United Kingdom, with a focus on wedding and event photography including overseas weddings. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and WooCommerce plugin, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. The site is well-branded and professionally designed, targeting individuals and couples seeking photography services in the West Midlands and beyond. Technically, the website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA for form security, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. The domain is long-standing, registered since 1999, which supports the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website presents a moderate security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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 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

The business operates in the photography services sector, primarily serving local and regional clients with additional overseas wedding photography offerings. Its business model is service-based, focusing on personalized photography solutions. The website content and structured data reflect a clear market positioning as a professional and reliable photography provider. The absence of extensive marketing or affiliate programs suggests a direct client engagement approach. The company benefits from a consistent brand presence and a professional online footprint, but could enhance growth by improving privacy compliance and security transparency. The lack of social media links or additional contact emails limits broader engagement channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security measures such as HTTPS and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, it lacks critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible privacy policy or incident response information, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, reflecting a need for enhanced security practices and formalized policies to improve compliance and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish an incident response contact or page to provide transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme and WooCommerce plugin, indicating a mature and widely supported CMS platform. It uses jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA scripts, which are standard for interactive and secure form handling. The site includes SEO optimizations such as meta tags, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data, enhancing search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, and mobile optimization is good due to responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic, with no advanced ARIA or accessibility features detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
