Risk levelHigh

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

Virtual Pictures Ltd. is a UK-based digital media production company specializing in video production, eLearning, and app development services. The company targets businesses and organizations seeking innovative and tailored digital content solutions. Their website showcases a professional portfolio with client logos from reputable organizations, indicating a solid market position in the media and education sectors. Technically, the website uses basic modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is limited; no HTTPS status was confirmed from the data, no security headers were detected, and the site uses an outdated jQuery version, which may pose vulnerabilities. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures to improve trust 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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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
  4. 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

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention virtualpictures.tv, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for virtualpictures.tv right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 operates in a niche market providing digital media production services including video, eLearning, and app development. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering customized digital content solutions to corporate and educational clients. The presence of major client logos such as BBC and UCL suggests strong industry relationships and credibility. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized enterprise with a focus on innovation and client-tailored solutions. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The lack of social media presence and analytics tools suggests a limited digital marketing footprint. The company could leverage partnerships and certifications to enhance market positioning.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture with no visible HTTPS confirmation, absence of security headers, and use of an outdated JavaScript library. There are no signs of vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and preparedness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. While no immediate vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found, the site would benefit from implementing HTTPS, security headers, updated libraries, and formal privacy and security policies to mitigate risks and improve trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple tech stack primarily based on jQuery 1.12.2 and Google Fonts, with embedded Google Maps for location display. There is no detected CMS or advanced framework. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility features. Performance is average with no explicit optimization techniques observed. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user data collection. The site structure is straightforward with clear navigation but could benefit from SEO enhancements and accessibility improvements. Technical debt is indicated by the use of outdated libraries and missing security best practices.
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.
