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

Zoonar GmbH operates a professional stock photo agency platform based in Hamburg, Germany, offering over 11 million royalty-free images across diverse categories such as business, nature, travel, and technology. The company targets businesses, agencies, photographers, and creative professionals, providing scalable and legally compliant image licensing solutions including dedicated business accounts. The website is well-structured, multilingual, and designed to facilitate easy image search and licensing. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks like PrimeVue and integrates PayPal for payment processing, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks visible security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and business information appear professional and consistent with a legitimate media company. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and functional platform for stock image licensing with room for security and privacy improvements.

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. 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

  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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Zoonar GmbH has positioned itself as a reliable stock photo agency since 2006, emphasizing fair compensation to photographers and legal compliance in image licensing. Its business model revolves around licensing royalty-free images to businesses and creative professionals, supported by a platform that also enables photographers to sell their work globally. The company leverages partnerships such as PayPal for payment processing and maintains a multilingual website to serve an international audience. Growth indicators include a large image catalog and dedicated business accounts for scalable licensing. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that should be investigated. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its fair royalty share, extensive image collection, and centralized licensing solutions for businesses.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS, which are recommended to enhance security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and security policy documentation indicates partial compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could hinder timely security issue reporting and resolution. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with opportunities to strengthen headers, privacy notices, and incident response readiness to reduce risk and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with PrimeVue UI components and ES modules, indicating a contemporary front-end architecture. Integration with PayPal SDK supports secure and convenient payment processing. The site is multilingual with language switching capabilities, enhancing global accessibility. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected, and no analytics or tracking scripts were found, suggesting a privacy-conscious approach or limited tracking. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended to enhance overall robustness.
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.
