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

Stetic GmbH is a German-based independent product studio specializing in AI-driven digital solutions, notably AI headshots through their Headyshot product and privacy-friendly web analytics as an alternative to Google Analytics. Established since 2004, the company targets professionals and businesses seeking modern, AI-supported tools that respect user privacy. Their market position is strengthened by a user base exceeding 100,000 and a clear emphasis on data protection and cookie-free analytics. Technically, the website is built on a modern Next.js framework with React, delivering fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The site employs JavaScript tracking via their own Fourstats analytics, avoiding third-party cookies, aligning with their privacy commitments. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but does not negate the evident legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, with room for improvement in transparency around security policies and cookie consent.

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

4 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 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

Stetic operates in the technology sector with a focus on AI-powered digital products. Their business model revolves around product development and SaaS offerings, targeting professionals needing AI-generated headshots and companies requiring privacy-compliant web analytics. Their competitive advantage lies in privacy-first analytics and AI integration, appealing to privacy-conscious markets. The company maintains active social media channels, enhancing brand visibility and customer engagement. Revenue streams likely include subscriptions or pay-per-use models for Headyshot and analytics services. Growth indicators include a long operational history and a sizable user base. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation. Strategic partnerships are not explicitly listed but may exist given external domain references.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No public security policy or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The privacy-friendly approach to analytics reduces tracking risks, supporting GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the site content or scripts. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response procedures.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to align with privacy transparency best practices despite cookie-free analytics.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS technologies with optimized font loading and image preloading for performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses custom scripts for analytics and tracking. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and minimal blocking resources. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based site. Technical risks are minimal but include the lack of explicit security headers and absence of documented security policies.
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.
