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

StockFood, operated by Image Professionals GmbH, is a leading global media agency specializing in food photography and related content. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio including 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. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and rich content, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries such as React and jQuery, and uses Matomo analytics with cookies disabled to respect user privacy. While the site is performant and SEO-optimized, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a notable gap in privacy compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, but the lack of visible security headers and incident response information suggests areas for enhancement. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces domain registration trust signals, but the website content and business information strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with recommendations to improve privacy compliance and security best practices to further strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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 in the media sector with a focus on food photography and related digital content. Its business model revolves around licensing high-quality food images and videos, supplemented by custom production and research services. The company targets media agencies, publishers, advertisers, and food industry professionals globally, supported by multiple country-specific domains. The presence of partner sites and a broad social media footprint indicates a well-established ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include licensing fees, custom production contracts, and subscription or purchase of digital content. The company shows indicators of medium size with professional branding and consistent content quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics usage. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a weakness. No incident response or security policy pages were found, limiting transparency on handling security events. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve trust and facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. Privacy compliance is partially met, but the missing cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security risks are moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the visible content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or 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. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of React 15.4.0 and jQuery libraries, indicating a hybrid approach to frontend development. Matomo analytics is used for user tracking with cookies disabled, reflecting privacy-conscious design. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive menus and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are technical debt areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media agency but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
