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

Cascadeur.com is the official website for Cascadeur, a standalone 3D keyframe animation software that leverages AI-assisted tools to simplify and accelerate the animation process. The company targets a broad audience including animators, game developers, riggers, and indie developers, offering a niche product with advanced features such as quick rigging, animation unbaking, and AI-powered auto-posing. The website demonstrates a professional design with good content relevance and clear navigation, supported by modern technologies like Bootstrap, Video.js, and Google Tag Manager. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS, CSRF protection, and reCAPTCHA integration, though improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business credibility. The site actively engages users through multiple social media channels and community platforms.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

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

Cascadeur operates in the technology sector, focusing on 3D animation software with AI enhancements. Its business model is subscription-based, offering various plans including Indie, Pro, Business, and Educational licenses. The company has established a presence on major social media and community platforms, enhancing its market reach and user engagement. The product supports integration with popular 3D file formats and rigging standards, positioning it well within the animation and game development workflows. The domain age and WHOIS data align with a mature and credible business. However, the lack of visible privacy and security policies may impact trust among privacy-conscious users.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and includes CSRF tokens and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency. Analytics tools like Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica are used, but no cookie consent mechanism was found, raising privacy compliance concerns. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  4. Develop and disclose a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Video.js for media playback, and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. The site loads moderate multimedia content such as videos and animations, which may impact performance but is optimized with preconnect and dns-prefetch hints. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. Hosting is via GoDaddy.com, LLC, with domain registration dating back to 2015, indicating a stable infrastructure. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security configurations and privacy compliance are needed to reduce risk and enhance user trust.
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.
