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

Blackmagic Design is a prominent technology company specializing in high-quality products for the film, post-production, and broadcast industries. Their offerings include digital film cameras, video routers, live production switchers, and professional editing software such as DaVinci Resolve. The company targets professional filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators, positioning itself as a leader in the media technology sector with a strong product portfolio and global reach. The website reflects a mature digital presence with rich multimedia content and clear product information, supporting their market position effectively. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, font services, and tracking tools, ensuring a responsive and engaging user experience across devices. However, some technical details such as CMS and hosting provider are not explicitly identifiable from the provided data. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and includes tracking scripts but lacks visible security headers and formal security or privacy policies in the analyzed content. The WHOIS data is notably missing or inaccessible, which raises questions about domain registration transparency despite the professional appearance of the site. Overall, the website is well-designed and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices to 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

5 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 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

    • 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

  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

Blackmagic Design operates in the technology and media sectors, focusing on hardware and software solutions for professional video production. Their business model revolves around product sales and software distribution, targeting a global audience of media professionals. The company demonstrates strong market positioning with innovative products like URSA cameras and DaVinci Resolve software, supported by customer stories and video content that highlight real-world applications. Partnerships with platforms like Splice and an active community forum indicate a robust ecosystem. The absence of explicit company founding date or parent company information limits deeper business lineage insights. The website's content quality and branding consistency reinforce their credibility and professional stature in the industry.

Security posture

The website shows a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of detected security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information is present, which could hinder timely reporting and handling of security issues. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. Privacy compliance indicators are minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, potentially exposing the company to regulatory risks. Enhancing security policies, publishing clear privacy and cookie statements, and providing security contact channels would significantly improve their security maturity and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve site security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is complete and publicly accessible to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript libraries like Owl Carousel and font services from Typekit, ensuring a visually appealing and responsive design. Google Tag Manager and Crazy Egg are employed for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layouts. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML. Performance appears moderate based on the number of scripts and image assets. Accessibility features are present but not deeply analyzed. SEO is supported by meta tags and alternate hreflang links for internationalization. Technical debt is minimal but could be reduced by consolidating scripts and improving security configurations. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy implementations.
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.
