Risk levelMedium

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

Broadsign is a well-established company founded in 2001 that provides an end-to-end SaaS platform for media owners and buyers to plan, manage, and deliver out-of-home media. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence targeting media industry professionals. Technically, the site is built using modern technologies such as Gatsby and React, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not publish security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

6 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 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. 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.

  4. 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

Broadsign operates in the media sector, focusing on out-of-home advertising technology. Its business model centers on providing a SaaS platform that streamlines media planning and delivery for owners and buyers. The company appears to be a large entity with a long operational history, positioning itself as a key player in its niche. The website's content and metadata emphasize its role as a technology provider for media management. The absence of direct contact details and limited public business registration data suggests a focus on digital engagement primarily through forms. Marketing tools like HubSpot and Clearbit indicate an active lead generation and customer engagement strategy.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. Tracking and marketing scripts are present without visible cookie consent, potentially impacting privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly enhanced by adopting best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Review and ensure compliance with GDPR and other relevant privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern static site generator (Gatsby) with React, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure suggests reliable performance and scalability. The site includes marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer, supporting data-driven marketing efforts. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS detected beyond Gatsby. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but has room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
