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

seasons.agency is a German-based premium image agency specializing in exclusive European photographic content for media, advertising, and publishing industries. The company offers a curated portfolio focusing on lifestyle themes such as Beauty, Cover, Food, Home, and Travel. Originating from the syndication of JAHRESZEITEN VERLAG, it licenses high-quality content from leading photographers and publishers across Europe. The website reflects a professional brand presence with clear navigation, multilingual support, and a strong network of partner brands. Technically, the website employs a combination of Bootstrap, jQuery, and React technologies, with Matomo analytics configured for privacy-conscious tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration, though some improvements are recommended in security headers and updating legacy libraries. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid posture with secure forms and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of cookie consent mechanisms and security policy disclosures indicates areas for compliance enhancement, especially under GDPR. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy or query failure, but the website's content and certifications support its legitimacy. Overall, seasons.agency presents a trustworthy, professional digital presence with room for technical and compliance improvements to enhance security and privacy posture further.

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 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';…

  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

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 company operates in the niche media sector, focusing on premium photographic content licensing. Its competitive advantage lies in exclusive European lifestyle content and partnerships with leading publishers and photographers. The business model centers on content syndication and licensing, targeting media professionals and creative agencies. The presence of multiple partner brands indicates a broad ecosystem supporting diversified content offerings. Growth potential exists through expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance with evolving privacy regulations. The company maintains a medium-sized profile with a strong German market focus and international reach via multilingual websites.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leaks are observed. The use of Matomo with disabled cookies reflects privacy-aware analytics. However, the site lacks explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version poses a potential vulnerability risk. No incident response or security policy pages are published, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mixed technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, React for UI components, and jQuery for legacy scripts. Matomo analytics is integrated for user tracking with privacy considerations. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks some modern security headers. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially on mobile devices. The presence of older jQuery versions suggests technical debt. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional web presence but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
