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

CableLabs is a prominent organization focused on advancing broadband innovation through research, technology development, and industry collaboration. The website positions CableLabs as an industry leader in broadband technology, targeting stakeholders such as cable operators and technology developers. The business model centers on collaborative research and development to create next-generation network technologies and connected experiences. The website is professionally designed, leveraging WordPress with the Divi theme and SEO tools, indicating a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and cookie consent mechanisms for privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though some accessibility features are basic. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data for the domain www.cablelabs.com is missing or inaccessible, which is unusual for an established organization. This raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and social media presence support legitimacy. No contact emails or phone numbers were found in the HTML content, and privacy and terms of service pages were not detected, indicating areas for improvement in compliance and user trust. Overall, CableLabs' website is a professional and authoritative resource in the broadband technology sector, with a solid technical foundation and good security practices. However, improvements in transparency, privacy documentation, and contact availability are recommended 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

3 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

CableLabs operates as a research and development consortium in the telecommunications sector, focusing on broadband innovation. Its market position is that of an industry leader collaborating with cable operators and technology developers. The business model relies on joint research, technology development, and industry collaboration rather than direct consumer sales. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and partnerships. The target customers are broadband industry stakeholders and technology innovators. The website reflects a large enterprise with consistent branding and professional content. The partnership ecosystem includes social media presence but no explicit partner domains were identified in the HTML content. Growth indicators include active content updates and use of modern digital marketing tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security transparency and maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent but lacks full documentation. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible on the site. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced documentation and security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages with clear links on the website.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts to improve transparency.
  4. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, a popular and flexible CMS platform. It uses Yoast SEO Premium for search engine optimization and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses a cookie consent solution from CookieYes. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses modern CSS and JavaScript but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance optimizations. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is mature but could be improved with additional security and privacy features.
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.
