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

Crunchyroll is a prominent media streaming platform specializing in anime and manga content, targeting a global audience of anime enthusiasts. The website demonstrates a professional design with consistent branding and a clear focus on subscription-based streaming services. The technical infrastructure leverages modern analytics and marketing tools such as Segment, Braze, Firebase, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital presence. The site is served over HTTPS with asynchronous loading of scripts, contributing to good performance and user experience. However, the absence of visible privacy policies and terms of service in the provided HTML snapshot suggests room for improvement in transparency and compliance. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced, but the lack of security headers and explicit contact information for security incidents or data protection inquiries are notable gaps. Overall, the website is safe for general audiences with no adult content detected, and the domain appears legitimate despite missing WHOIS data, likely due to privacy protection or registrar policies.

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 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 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

Crunchyroll holds a leading position in the anime streaming market, offering a subscription-based business model complemented by an ad-supported free tier. Its key services include anime streaming and manga reading, targeting anime fans and general audiences interested in Asian media. The company operates in the media and technology sectors and is considered a large enterprise. The website's integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools supports effective customer engagement and growth strategies. While no explicit parent company or subsidiaries were identified in the provided data, Crunchyroll's brand recognition and market presence are strong. The lack of publicly accessible contact information and privacy policies may impact user trust and regulatory compliance, suggesting strategic areas for enhancement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs modern analytics and marketing scripts loaded asynchronously, which is positive for security and performance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is partially indicated by the presence of a cookie consent banner, but the missing privacy policy and terms of service are significant compliance gaps. Enhancing these areas would strengthen the security culture and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries, including a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Increase transparency around data collection, retention policies, and GDPR compliance to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with multiple asynchronously loaded script chunks, indicating a single-page application or similar architecture. It leverages third-party services such as Segment, Braze, Firebase, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing automation. Fonts are preloaded for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with viewport meta tags and responsive design elements. No CMS or hosting provider details were identified from the HTML snapshot. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization. The absence of security headers and incomplete privacy documentation represent technical debt and compliance risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable and engaging user experience but requires enhancements in security and privacy transparency.
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.
