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

4 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

STRKNG's market positioning is that of a specialized media platform catering to the photography community worldwide. Its competitive advantage lies in curated, high-quality content and community engagement features such as anonymous voting and portfolio rankings. The business model includes portfolio hosting, event calendars, publications, and an online shop, with revenue streams likely from sponsorships, affiliate marketing (Amazon Associates), and product sales. The target customer segments include professional and amateur photographers, models, and photography enthusiasts. Growth indicators include a long-established domain, active social media presence, and continuous content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for shop, blog, and streaming services, enhancing the platform's offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status, reducing hijacking risks. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present, which could mitigate certain web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate compliance with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and explicitly configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or proprietary platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and possibly CDN services, enhancing performance and security. Google Firebase is used for push notifications, and Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) extensively for SEO and content clarity. Performance is moderate with some asynchronous content loading and carousel widgets. Mobile optimization is good, with adaptive navigation and touch-friendly elements. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and canonical links. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could benefit from further optimization and accessibility enhancements.
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.
