Crowdcast is a technology SaaS company specializing in online event hosting platforms that enable content creators, educators, and community builders to reach, engage, and grow their audiences through live streaming and interactive features. The platform supports multi-channel broadcasting, monetization options, and integrations with popular services such as Patreon, Stripe, and Zapier. The website demonstrates a strong market position with trusted brand partnerships and a professional, modern design. Technically, Crowdcast employs a modern React-based stack with Next.js and Chakra UI, ensuring fast performance, mobile optimization, and good accessibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and modern security headers, though explicit privacy and cookie policies were not detected in the provided HTML snapshot. Overall, the domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for SaaS businesses, and no suspicious patterns were found. Recommendations include publishing clear privacy and cookie policies, security incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information 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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…
  3. 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

Crowdcast operates in the competitive online event and webinar platform market, targeting creators and businesses seeking interactive and monetizable live event solutions. Their business model is SaaS-based with revenue from paid event ticketing and subscriptions. The company leverages partnerships with payment processors and integration platforms to enhance service offerings. Customer testimonials and brand logos indicate strong user satisfaction and market credibility. The platform's technical maturity and integration ecosystem position it well for growth and scalability. However, the lack of publicly visible privacy and security policies may present compliance and trust challenges that should be addressed.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive set of security headers, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and incident response policies limits transparency and may impact GDPR and other regulatory compliance. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which could improve incident handling and community trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add explicit security and incident response policies, including contact information for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to foster responsible security reporting.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including support and sales emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer service.
  5. Regularly review and update security headers and monitor third-party scripts for vulnerabilities to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

Crowdcast's website is built on a modern React framework (Next.js) with Chakra UI for styling, ensuring responsive and accessible design. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Intercom supports user engagement and business intelligence. The site loads efficiently with preloading and prefetching strategies. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely cloud-based given the tech stack. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with meta tags and Open Graph data. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and security transparency to reduce technical debt and regulatory risk.
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.
