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

视觉中国VCG.COM operates as a leading global platform providing licensed commercial media content including images, videos, music, fonts, and illustrations. The company targets enterprise clients such as advertisers, media agencies, and brand companies, offering a comprehensive digital asset library with over 550 million professional copyright materials. The platform supports AI-powered search and streamlined commercial licensing to ensure safe and legal usage of media assets. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React, Ant Design components, and integrates analytics tools like Baidu Analytics. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a professional user experience with clear navigation and rich content. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers likely present, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly detailed. Privacy policies and terms of service are comprehensive and accessible, but cookie consent mechanisms are absent, indicating room for improvement in privacy compliance. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective, but the presence of official certifications and business information supports legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a mature, professional digital presence with strong business credibility and moderate technical sophistication.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MSSQL

      Port 1433 (MSSQL) is publicly accessible - MSSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MSSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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, 汉华易美视觉科技有限公司, is positioned as a major player in the media licensing industry in China, serving a large enterprise customer base with a broad portfolio of creative assets. Its business model centers on commercial licensing of digital media, supported by AI search capabilities and a one-stop authorization process. The platform's ecosystem includes partnerships with related domains such as 500px.com.cn and sinotype.vcg.com, enhancing its content offerings and market reach. The website's content quality and branding consistency reflect a well-established brand with high trust indicators including government registrations and industry certifications. The absence of WHOIS data suggests either privacy protection or registry query limitations, which is common but warrants monitoring. The company’s digital footprint indicates a focus on innovation and customer-centric services, with potential growth in AI-assisted content discovery and licensing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and likely standard security headers in place. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or security.txt file limits transparency regarding incident response and vulnerability management. The site lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under privacy regulations such as GDPR. Incident response contact is provided via a reporting email, indicating some level of readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to enhance policy transparency, implement cookie consent, and publish vulnerability disclosure procedures to strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider publishing WHOIS data or domain registration details to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including React and Ant Design, supported by jQuery and video.js for media handling. It uses lazy loading for images and integrates Baidu Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with multiple preloaded scripts and stylesheets indicating a complex but well-managed asset pipeline. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical infrastructure supports a rich user experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementations.
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.
