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

Vecteezy is a well-established online platform providing free and premium vectors, images, photos, and videos primarily targeting graphic designers, marketers, and content creators. The site operates under a freemium business model, offering a large repository of creative assets with options for premium subscriptions. Owned by Etsy, Inc., Vecteezy holds a strong market position in the digital creative asset industry. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, and Fastly CDN, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, CSRF tokens, and reCAPTCHA, reflecting a mature security posture. However, the absence of public WHOIS data and explicit security policies slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, Vecteezy presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform with moderate user tracking and good privacy 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 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 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

Vecteezy leverages a freemium model to attract a broad user base of creative professionals and hobbyists. Its integration with Etsy, Inc. provides strategic advantages including brand recognition and resource backing. The platform's extensive content library and premium subscription offerings create diversified revenue streams. The presence of multiple ad networks and tracking pixels indicates monetization through advertising and marketing partnerships. Vecteezy's target customers are primarily in the creative and marketing sectors, with growth potential in expanding premium services and partnerships. The company maintains a consistent brand image and high-quality content, supporting its competitive edge in the stock media market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and anti-bot measures like reCAPTCHA. CSRF protection is implemented, and content security policies include nonce usage, reducing risks of cross-site scripting. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security score is strong but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention and user privacy practices.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks to minimize tracking and potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Vecteezy's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing JavaScript frameworks likely React, served via Fastly CDN for optimized global delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. Performance is fast with preconnects and preloads for critical resources. The use of Google Tag Manager and analytics services supports marketing and user behavior insights. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Technical risks are minimal but include dependency on multiple third-party ad and tracking services which require ongoing monitoring.
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.
