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

5 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 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';…

  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

StockFood operates a niche business model as a specialized stock photo agency focusing on food-related content. Their competitive advantage lies in the extensive network of photographers and the breadth of multimedia content offered. Revenue streams likely include licensing fees for images, videos, and features, as well as custom photo and video production services via StockFood Studios. The company targets media agencies, publishers, advertisers, and food industry professionals. The presence of multiple country domains indicates a strategy for localized market penetration. Partnerships with related brands such as Image Professionals and ArtShop expand their ecosystem. Job postings and blog content suggest active engagement with the creative community and ongoing growth. The business is medium-sized with a professional brand image and consistent messaging.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with disabled cookies). However, there is no visible cookie consent banner, which may be a GDPR compliance gap. No security.txt or explicit incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency for vulnerability reporting. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a minor risk that could be addressed to improve protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery and React 15.4.0, indicating a hybrid or legacy-modern JavaScript stack. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-focused tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting details are not explicit but Matomo is hosted on a cloud service. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The site lacks some modern accessibility features but provides a clear navigation structure. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are low but modernization opportunities exist by updating React to a newer version and improving 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.
