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

Charlie Phillips' website is a personal photography portfolio hosted on the Squarespace platform, showcasing photographic works primarily in the Food & Drink and People & Still Life categories. The site is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, targeting a general audience interested in photography. The business model appears to be a personal portfolio without e-commerce or direct sales functionality. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Squarespace CMS, Typekit fonts, and YUI JavaScript libraries, with moderate performance and basic SEO features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a gap for GDPR compliance. Contact information is clearly provided with a professional email and UK phone number. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe, but could improve in privacy 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

8 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. 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';…

  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

    • 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

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 website positions Charlie Phillips as a photographer with a focus on Food & Drink and People & Still Life photography. The site serves as a portfolio rather than a commercial storefront, indicating a business model centered on showcasing work for potential clients or collaborators. The target audience includes art enthusiasts, potential clients, and social media followers. The site leverages Squarespace's platform for ease of content management and hosting. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or complex business structures. The presence of a professional email and phone number supports direct client engagement. Growth indicators or revenue streams are not evident from the site content. The Instagram link suggests social media engagement as part of marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized transfers or updates, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection risks. There are no visible forms collecting user data, reducing attack surface, but also limiting user engagement features. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. The site does not use any known vulnerable libraries based on the scripts detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional headers, DNSSEC, and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add incident response contact information or abuse@ email addresses to facilitate security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its hosted CMS and content delivery network. It uses Typekit for font management and YUI JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. The site loads multiple compressed JavaScript bundles from Squarespace's CDN, indicating a modern approach to performance optimization. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata for SEO and social sharing. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site does not implement advanced analytics or tracking, which limits data-driven insights but enhances privacy. Performance is moderate, with many high-resolution images that may impact load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for a personal portfolio but could benefit from SEO and accessibility enhancements.
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.
