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

3 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 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';…

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 dominant position in the anime streaming market, leveraging a subscription-based business model supplemented by ad-supported free tiers and merchandise sales. Its partnership with Sony Pictures enhances brand credibility and resource access. The company targets a global audience of anime fans, offering content in multiple languages and across various platforms including web, mobile, and TV devices. The ecosystem includes news, events, and gaming, broadening engagement and revenue streams. The website's integration with multiple analytics and marketing tools supports data-driven growth and user experience optimization. Strategic partnerships and a comprehensive content library underpin Crunchyroll's competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, DRM for content protection, and cookie consent via OneTrust. Use of modern analytics and marketing platforms is balanced with privacy compliance efforts. However, the absence of explicit security headers in the visible HTML and lack of a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure page represent areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security score is strong but could be elevated by publishing detailed security policies and implementing security.txt for coordinated vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  2. Create and publicize an incident response page with dedicated security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security collaboration.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance contact information by adding verified company phone numbers and physical addresses where applicable to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

Crunchyroll's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing Next.js for server-side rendering and React for frontend interactivity. The site employs advanced analytics tools including Segment, Braze, and Datadog for performance monitoring and user behavior tracking. DRM technologies such as FairPlay, PlayReady, and Widevine are integrated for secure content delivery. The website is optimized for mobile and desktop with fast loading times and good SEO practices. However, no explicit CMS or hosting provider was identified from the HTML content. The technical stack supports scalability and a high-quality user experience, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to mitigate risks.
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.
