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

api.video is a technology company specializing in providing a comprehensive video API platform that enables businesses and developers to host, manage, encode, and deliver on-demand and live-stream videos efficiently. The company targets developers, digital agencies, and enterprises seeking to integrate high-quality video content into their websites, software, or applications. With a strong market presence evidenced by thousands of users and notable clients, api.video offers a robust set of services including AI-powered transcription and summarization, video analytics, and a global delivery infrastructure. The technical infrastructure is modern and mature, leveraging Next.js for frontend, AWS for hosting assets, and integrating multiple analytics and marketing tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity. The website is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, reflecting a high level of digital maturity. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed. Overall, the security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR considerations. The domain WHOIS data is limited due to TLD restrictions and privacy protection but does not raise concerns given the professional website content and external trust signals. The risk assessment indicates a low risk profile with recommendations to enhance transparency by publishing dedicated security and incident response information. Strategic improvements in security communication and vulnerability disclosure would further strengthen 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

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 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';…

  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

  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 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

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

api.video operates in the competitive video API market, differentiating itself through an all-in-one platform that combines video hosting, encoding, delivery, and AI features. Its business model is SaaS/API-based, targeting developers and enterprises requiring scalable video solutions. The company demonstrates strong growth indicators with a large developer base and partnerships with major brands. Its ecosystem includes extensive SDKs, plugins, and integrations, facilitating adoption across various tech stacks. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans and usage-based pricing. The company maintains a professional online presence with comprehensive documentation and customer testimonials, supporting its market credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of api.video is solid, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The website does not expose sensitive information and uses secure third-party services for forms and analytics. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies. The company should consider publishing explicit security policies and incident response procedures to enhance security culture and readiness. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and data protection but can be improved in communication and formalization.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy practices to reinforce GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
