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

StockFood, operated by Lines+Angles, Inc., is a leading global media agency specializing in food photography and related content. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of food images, videos, features, and recipes sourced from over 1,500 professional photographers. Their market position is strong within the media sector, targeting creative professionals and food industry stakeholders worldwide. The website supports multiple international domains, reflecting a broad geographic reach. Technically, the website employs a modern but somewhat dated tech stack including React 15.4.0 and jQuery, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. While performance is moderate, the site is well-structured and content-rich. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced compliance and protection. The security evaluation shows no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of WHOIS data due to privacy protection slightly reduces trust. The business credibility is high, supported by clear contact information, professional branding, and active social media presence. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy, with room for improvement in privacy compliance 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

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

StockFood operates as a specialized media agency within the food photography niche, leveraging a business model focused on licensing rights-managed and royalty-free content. Their revenue streams likely include image and video licensing, custom production services, and subscription or feature access. The company targets marketing agencies, publishers, and food industry professionals globally, supported by a network of international domains and partner brands. Strategic partnerships with related media and production companies enhance their service offerings. The company demonstrates growth potential through content freshness and diversified services, maintaining a competitive advantage via a large photographer network and curated content collections.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure handling of user inputs in login and registration forms. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially indicated by the privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, cookie consent, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery and React 15.4.0 for frontend interactivity, indicating a hybrid legacy and modern approach. CSS is modularized and versioned, supporting maintainability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive menus and layouts. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. Performance is moderate, with no explicit CDN or hosting provider identified. No major technical debt is evident, but updating React to a more recent version and consolidating JavaScript frameworks could improve maintainability and performance. The absence of analytics scripts suggests minimal user tracking, which aligns with privacy-conscious practices.
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.
