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

StockFood, operated by Sucré Salé, is a leading global media agency specializing in food photography, videos, features, and recipes. The company serves a broad audience including creative professionals and food industry stakeholders, offering a large collection of rights managed and royalty-free content from over 1,500 photographers. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with multi-country localized domains and active social media engagement. Technically, the website uses a combination of jQuery and React (version 15.4.0), with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. However, some legacy technology and lack of visible security headers indicate areas for modernization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure login forms but lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which may impact GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. WHOIS data is unavailable due to registry restrictions, but the domain and website content appear legitimate and consistent with the business profile. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with recommendations to enhance security headers, implement cookie consent, and improve accessibility to strengthen compliance and security posture.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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

StockFood holds a strong market position as a specialized media agency in the food photography sector, leveraging a large network of photographers and a diverse content portfolio. Its business model focuses on licensing images, videos, and recipes, supplemented by custom production services through affiliated brands. The company targets media agencies, creative professionals, and food industry clients globally, supported by localized websites for multiple countries. Partnerships with related agencies and brands enhance its service offerings and market reach. The presence of clear contact information and social media channels supports customer engagement and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of a cookie consent banner indicates a potential GDPR compliance gap. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could affect preparedness for security events. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from implementing recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance and readiness.
  4. Upgrade legacy JavaScript libraries and frameworks to current versions to reduce technical debt and security risks.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

  4. Clear business contact information and social media presence.
  5. No explicit privacy or cookie consent banner detected, which may be a GDPR compliance gap.
  6. No visible security headers in HTML source; potential area for improvement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a mix of jQuery and React 15.4.0, indicating partial modernization but also legacy dependencies. CSS and JavaScript are well organized with versioning for cache control. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and clear navigation. SEO is supported by meta tags, alternate hreflang links for internationalization, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with no explicit CDN or hosting provider identified. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided HTML, suggesting minimal user tracking. Technical risks include outdated React version and missing security headers, which should be addressed to improve resilience and compliance.
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.
