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

The website vanta.work serves as a personal portfolio for an individual named Vanta Rainbow Black, a creative professional based in Seattle. The site highlights her skills and interests in social media, video editing, writing, fashion design, and web design. It targets potential employers or clients seeking freelance creative services. The business model is that of a personal freelance portfolio without formal company structure or commercial enterprise. The domain is newly registered in 2024 and privacy protected, consistent with a personal site. Technically, the website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any detected frameworks or CMS. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. There is no evidence of analytics or advertising technologies, indicating minimal tracking and data collection. From a security perspective, the site lacks HTTPS information and security headers, and DNSSEC is not enabled. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided. The contact information is limited to a ProtonMail email address, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the security posture is weak and could be improved significantly. The overall risk is low given the personal nature of the site and absence of sensitive data collection, but the lack of basic security and privacy policies reduces trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enabling HTTPS, adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and providing incident response contacts to enhance security and compliance.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

The site represents a sole creative professional's portfolio rather than a formal business entity. Market positioning is as a freelance creative offering services in social media, video editing, writing, fashion design, and web design. Revenue streams likely come from freelance contracts and online sales via linked clothing shop. The target customer segment includes employers and clients in creative industries. The site links to multiple related personal and creative projects, indicating a broad creative ecosystem. Growth indicators are limited due to the site's newness and personal scope. No formal partnerships or parent/subsidiary relationships are evident.

Security posture

Security maturity is low with no HTTPS or security headers detected and no DNSSEC enabled. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, reducing readiness for security events. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit insight into user behavior. The use of a privacy-protected domain registration is appropriate for a personal site. Overall, the site is low risk but lacks fundamental security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure data in transit.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  4. Include security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is a simple static site built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without use of frameworks or CMS. The design uses custom CSS animations and inline styles. No external JavaScript libraries or analytics tools are detected. Hosting appears to be via NameCheap registrar DNS servers, but no hosting provider or CDN is identified. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization or mobile responsiveness beyond basic CSS. SEO is minimal with only basic meta tags and Open Graph tags present. Accessibility features are limited. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design, SEO improvements, and security 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.
