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

6 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"

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Business profile

Vigbo operates a SaaS business model focused on photographers, offering integrated tools for portfolio websites, client galleries, e-commerce, and AI retouching. The company leverages partnerships such as vigboshops.ru for online store capabilities. Its market positioning is strong within the photography sector in Russia and internationally, serving clients in over 70 countries. The platform's longevity since 2011 and domain age since 2014 support its credibility. Vigbo's competitive advantages include a comprehensive all-in-one platform, ease of use, and continuous product improvements as evidenced by customer testimonials. The business targets professional photographers seeking to enhance client experience and monetize their work effectively. Vigbo's ecosystem includes support centers, webinars, and SEO services, indicating a robust operational structure.

Security posture

Vigbo's security maturity is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Social login integrations use OAuth protocols, enhancing authentication security. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers with clientTransferProhibited status. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. The absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response contact is provided, which limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program is found. Overall, while basic security best practices are implemented, there is room for improvement in DNS security, header policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a clear security policy including incident response contacts.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the YII PHP framework with jQuery and uses modern front-end libraries like Slick Slider. It employs Google reCAPTCHA v2 invisible for bot protection and Yandex Metrika for analytics. Hosting uses Cloudflare DNS, providing resilience and performance benefits. The site uses WebP images for optimized loading and is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Meta tags and Open Graph data are properly configured for SEO and social sharing. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some security headers are missing. Performance is moderate with preloading of key images and asynchronous loading of scripts. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
