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

Cinando operates as a premier online networking platform tailored for film industry professionals worldwide. Founded in 2007, it offers a comprehensive suite of services including film and company searches, market preparation tools, and secure streaming of screeners with DRM and watermarking technologies. The platform supports both web and mobile app access, facilitating real-time updates and seamless connectivity among industry stakeholders. Its business model is subscription-based, charging companies an annual fee to register and access the platform's features. Technically, Cinando employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Maps API, and cookie consent management via tarteaucitron, integrated within an ASP.NET MVC framework. Hosting is managed through Gandi SAS, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. Analytics are implemented using Google Analytics (GA4) with user consent mechanisms in place. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and incorporates anti-CSRF tokens in forms, alongside DRM and watermarking for content protection. However, there is room for improvement in security headers implementation and explicit publication of security policies or incident response contacts. GDPR compliance is referenced but lacks a dedicated privacy policy page. The domain's WHOIS data aligns well with the business's legitimacy, showing consistent registration details and appropriate domain age. Overall, Cinando presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with strong business credibility and a solid technical foundation. Enhancements in privacy documentation and security header deployment would further strengthen its security posture and compliance standing.

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

Cinando holds a strong market position as a specialized networking platform for film professionals, leveraging its extensive database of people, films, projects, and market schedules. Its subscription-based revenue model targets companies within the film industry, offering value through secure content streaming and comprehensive market tools. The platform's integration with mobile apps and real-time updates caters to the dynamic needs of its audience. Partnerships with major app stores and social media presence enhance its ecosystem. The company's longevity since 2007 and consistent domain registration support its stable market presence. Growth potential lies in expanding service offerings and enhancing security and privacy features to meet evolving industry standards.

Security posture

Cinando demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level, with HTTPS enforcement, DRM-protected streaming, and anti-CSRF measures in place. The cookie consent mechanism reflects awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in comprehensive security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The platform would benefit from implementing security.txt files, enhancing header configurations, and formalizing incident response procedures to elevate its security posture and compliance with GDPR and other regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated, comprehensive privacy policy page clearly outlining GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response policy with dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  5. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern ASP.NET MVC framework with a front-end leveraging jQuery and Google Maps API. Cookie consent is managed via tarteaucitron, and customer support is integrated through Zendesk. Hosting is provided by Gandi SAS, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site shows good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization but has basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized assets. There is no evidence of a commercial CMS, indicating a custom or proprietary solution. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC, which could be addressed to improve resilience and security.
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.
