Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Ruedi Walti Fotografie is a small Swiss photography business specializing in architecture, flora, and publication photography. The website serves primarily as a portfolio or informational site with minimal content and no visible contact or policy information. The technical infrastructure is based on modern frontend technologies such as React and Webpack, indicating a contemporary approach to web development. However, the site lacks advanced SEO, accessibility, and performance optimizations, reflecting a basic digital maturity level. Security posture is minimal with no detected security headers or privacy policies, and no HTTPS status was explicitly provided, suggesting room for improvement in securing the site and enhancing user trust. Overall, the risk level is moderate due to the absence of critical security flaws but also due to missing compliance and contact information.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 business operates in a niche photography market focused on architectural and natural subjects, targeting general audiences interested in visual arts and publications. The business model appears service-oriented, likely relying on client commissions or publication contracts. Market positioning is local or niche without evidence of broader commercial scale or partnerships. The absence of contact details and business registrations on the site limits transparency and potential customer engagement. There are no indications of partnerships or subsidiaries. The website's minimalistic approach suggests a small-scale operation with limited digital marketing or advertising efforts.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. No security headers were detected, and there is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. The absence of contact information for incident response or security reporting channels further reduces the site's security readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the provided content, but the lack of security best practices such as HTTPS enforcement and security headers is a concern. The site would benefit from implementing standard security measures and compliance documentation to improve trust and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Include clear contact information, including email and phone, to facilitate communication and incident reporting.
  4. Deploy standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit and update website dependencies and frameworks to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses React and Webpack, indicating a modern JavaScript-based frontend. The HTML structure is minimal with basic meta tags for viewport and description but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. No CMS or backend platform is detected. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or caching. Mobile optimization is basic, with viewport meta tag present but no advanced accessibility features detected. SEO is minimal with only a description meta tag and no social media or external links. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, suggesting limited data collection or marketing integration.
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.
