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

Vitaliy Yermolayev's website serves as an online portfolio and gallery showcasing the artist's work. The site targets art enthusiasts and potential clients interested in the artist's creations. The business model is focused on personal branding and art presentation, positioning itself as a niche individual artist platform primarily serving a Latvian audience. The website is small in scale and content is minimal but professionally presented. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supplemented by SEO enhancements via Rank Math. The infrastructure is modern and supports mobile responsiveness, though performance is moderate. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic good practices such as HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response information, which are important for compliance and trust. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. Overall, the site is safe but could improve its security posture and privacy compliance. The overall risk is low given the nature of the site as an artist portfolio with no sensitive transactions or user data collection. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to enhance 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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"

    • 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';…

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 website represents a solo artist's portfolio, focusing on showcasing artwork to a general audience. Market positioning is niche with no direct commercial e-commerce functionality visible. The business model relies on personal branding and potentially direct client engagement via contact details. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or complex revenue streams. The site is professionally maintained with SEO tools indicating intent for discoverability. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal content and lack of interactive features. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the data provided.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic. HTTPS is enforced, which is mandatory and a strong positive. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the defense-in-depth posture. No forms or input fields are present, minimizing attack surface. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is not clearly addressed due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is low risk but could benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Add a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement standard security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Include incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor and Astra theme, which are widely supported and updated. The tech stack includes jQuery and several plugins for SEO and UI enhancements. Performance is moderate, likely due to plugin overhead and theme complexity. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring accessibility on various devices. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured data. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers. Hosting is via a reputable registrar (GANDI), but no direct hosting provider info is available. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities if not updated and lack of security headers.
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.
