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

StockFood, operated by Europa Press AB & Co KB, is a leading global media agency specializing in food photography and related media content. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of food images, videos, features, and recipes sourced from over 1,500 professional photographers. Their services cater primarily to creative professionals and media agencies seeking high-quality food-related visual content. The website demonstrates a strong market position with a consistent brand presence and multiple international domains supporting regional customers. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries including React and jQuery, with a well-structured HTML layout and responsive design elements. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage implied, but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for compliance and protection. From a security perspective, no critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is due to registry policy rather than suspicious activity, and the site maintains clear contact information and professional content. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy present, but cookie consent and incident response details are missing. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally managed, though improvements in security headers and privacy mechanisms would strengthen its posture. Strategically, StockFood should focus on enhancing privacy compliance, implementing security best practices, and maintaining transparent communication channels to uphold trust and regulatory adherence in its international operations.

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 in the media sector with a niche focus on food photography and related content licensing. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive network of photographers and a broad content library, enabling it to serve diverse creative and commercial clients globally. The business model revolves around licensing rights-managed and royalty-free content, supplemented by custom production services and recipe offerings. The company targets marketing teams, publishers, and food industry professionals, leveraging partnerships with related brands to expand its ecosystem. Growth indicators include multiple country-specific domains and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest a mature operation with opportunities to enhance digital privacy and security compliance to meet evolving market and regulatory demands.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no exposed sensitive data detected. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is partially evident through the privacy policy, but absence of cookie consent mechanisms and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement. The current security posture is sufficient for general business operations but should be enhanced to mitigate risks associated with third-party scripts and data protection obligations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and performance optimizations to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of React 15.4.0 and jQuery libraries, indicating a hybrid approach to frontend development. CSS is modularized and versioned, suggesting a managed asset pipeline. The presence of JSON-LD structured data enhances SEO and semantic understanding by search engines. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive menus and touch-friendly controls. However, no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement in loading times and script optimization. Accessibility is basic, with some legacy IE support scripts present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
