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

StockFood Studios is a professional media production company specializing in food photography, video production, and recipe creation. Operating as a division of Image Professionals GmbH based in Munich, Germany, it serves media professionals, publishers, agencies, and corporate clients globally. The company leverages a large network of photographers, stylists, and nutrition experts to deliver tailor-made content solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with rich multimedia content, clear navigation, and professional branding. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and Matomo analytics with cookies disabled, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces domain trustworthiness but does not detract from the professional appearance and business legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed, content-rich, and trustworthy for its target audience.

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

The company holds a strong market position as the only global brand dedicated to professional food photography, supported by a large network of contracted photographers and experts. Its business model focuses on providing end-to-end media production services including photography, video, recipe development, and rights management. The target customers are media professionals, publishers, and corporate clients requiring high-quality food-related content. The presence of multiple related brands and partner domains indicates a well-established partnership ecosystem. Customer testimonials and detailed service descriptions enhance credibility. The company operates in the media sector with a medium-sized organizational footprint based in Germany.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo with cookies disabled). However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Magnific Popup for UI components and multimedia presentation. Matomo analytics is integrated with cookies disabled, reflecting a privacy-aware approach. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with video content and image galleries that may impact load times but are well managed. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is lacking, representing a technical risk that should be addressed.
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.
