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

StockFood is a leading global culinary photo agency based in France, offering a comprehensive collection of food-related images, videos, reportages, and recipes from over 1,500 professional photographers. The company targets creative professionals and businesses in the culinary and media sectors, providing both rights-managed and royalty-free content along with custom photo and video production services. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and supports multiple country-specific domains, indicating a broad international presence. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries including React and jQuery, and integrates Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics, but lacks some standard security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, though the professional presentation and contact information support legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers, cookie consent, and publishing security policies. The business credibility is high with clear contact details and social media presence. The site content is safe for general audiences, focusing on culinary media without any adult or questionable content. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which is a concern for trust but does not currently impact user experience or content quality.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  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 the largest culinary photo agency worldwide, leveraging a diverse portfolio of images, videos, and recipes. Its business model combines stock content licensing with bespoke production services and an art print shop, targeting media professionals, publishers, and creative agencies. The company maintains a multi-country domain strategy to cater to localized markets. Partnerships with related brands like Image Professionals and StockFood Studios enhance its service offerings. The website's professional design and comprehensive content indicate a mature digital presence, supporting ongoing growth and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with cookies disabled). However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data collection.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern front-end technology stack with React 15.4.0 and jQuery, supported by Matomo analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. The presence of multiple country-specific domains suggests a distributed or multi-regional hosting strategy, though the exact hosting provider is not identified. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and clear navigation. However, the site lacks a CMS identification and could improve accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience with room for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
