Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in Email security, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

56/100

Risk levelMedium

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

ShadowLight Fotografie operates a professional photography e-commerce platform based in Switzerland, offering password-protected galleries and photo shoots primarily targeting individual clients and families. The website is built on the Pictrs.com platform, utilizing modern web technologies including HTTPS, CSRF protection, and JavaScript libraries for user experience enhancements. While the site demonstrates good design quality and user experience, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and password protection, but could be improved with additional security headers and clearer incident response information. Overall, the business appears legitimate and consistent with its domain registration data, but privacy compliance and contact transparency need enhancement.

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. 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 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

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

ShadowLight Fotografie is positioned as a niche photography service provider focusing on personalized client galleries and photo shoots. The business model revolves around selling photographic content online with controlled access. The target audience includes families, event participants, and individuals seeking professional photography. The platform leverages Pictrs.com for content management and delivery, indicating a small to medium-sized operation. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of visible business registration or certifications on the website suggests a small independent business. Growth potential may be enhanced by improving privacy compliance and expanding contact channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes CSRF tokens in forms, indicating awareness of basic web security practices. Galleries are password protected, enhancing client privacy. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense in depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Analytics without visible consent mechanisms is a privacy concern. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with additional headers, privacy policies, and incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information including business email and phone number.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Publish security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Pictrs.com platform, using standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking and Swiper.js for slideshow functionality. The site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and includes CSRF tokens in forms, indicating secure form handling. Performance is moderate with some mobile optimization but could be improved for better responsiveness and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. The technical stack is modern but limited by the platform's capabilities and lack of advanced security headers.
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.
