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

CineMaterial is an online media platform specializing in providing a comprehensive database of high resolution movie posters, covers, artwork, and logos. It positions itself as the leading movie poster database, targeting movie enthusiasts, collectors, and designers. The website offers access to over a million images, serving as a valuable resource for its niche audience. Technically, the site employs common web technologies including Google Analytics and Font Awesome icons, with a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the absence of detected CMS or hosting details limits deeper infrastructure insights. Security posture is moderate with no visible security headers or explicit policies, and privacy compliance is low due to missing privacy and cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising questions about domain legitimacy or recent registration. Overall, the site is functional and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures.

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 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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

The business operates in the media sector, focusing on digital content related to movie posters. Its business model revolves around providing a searchable and extensive image database, likely monetized through advertising or premium access. The target market includes film industry professionals, collectors, and fans. The lack of visible contact or corporate information suggests a small-sized operation without clear parent or subsidiary relationships. The platform's market position as the #1 movie poster database indicates a strong niche presence. Growth potential exists through partnerships or expanded services, but current transparency and compliance gaps may hinder trust and scalability.

Security posture

Security maturity appears basic with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the provided data. The site uses third-party analytics which may introduce privacy concerns. No forms or input fields were found, reducing immediate attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or security contact information is available, which is a risk for handling security events. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing clear security communication channels to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  4. Verify and publish WHOIS data or use a reputable registrar to improve domain legitimacy.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and overall site infrastructure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern front-end technologies including Font Awesome 6 Pro icons and Google Analytics for tracking. The meta tags are well-structured for SEO, indicating attention to search optimization. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. No CMS or backend technologies were identified from the provided data. Hosting provider details are not available. The site would benefit from enhanced technical documentation and security configurations to reduce risks and improve 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.
