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

theCUBE is a technology media platform focused on delivering event coverage and technology insights, operating under the siliconANGLE brand. The website provides video content and event-related information targeting technology professionals and enthusiasts. The platform leverages modern web technologies including MeteorJS and Video.js for content delivery and integrates multiple analytics services such as Mixpanel, Google Analytics, and Quantcast for user tracking and engagement analysis. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and reCAPTCHA integration for form protection, although some security headers and policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, but the website content and technical implementation suggest a professional media operation. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy linked but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR compliance indicators clearly present. Overall, the site is functional and moderately secure but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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

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

theCUBE operates in the technology media sector, providing niche event coverage and technology insights primarily through video content. Its business model appears to be content-driven, likely monetized through advertising and partnerships. The platform targets technology professionals and event attendees, positioning itself as a specialized media outlet within the siliconANGLE ecosystem. The use of advanced analytics and tracking tools indicates a focus on user engagement and data-driven marketing. However, the lack of explicit business contact information and WHOIS data limits transparency. The company appears to be medium-sized with consistent branding but lacks visible certifications or trust signals. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. Extensive use of third-party analytics increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish detailed security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add terms of service and vulnerability disclosure information to support legal compliance and responsible security practices.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the MeteorJS framework with extensive use of Video.js for video playback and YouTube iframe API integration. It employs modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts for performance optimization. Hosting assets on Amazon S3 and CloudFront indicates a scalable infrastructure. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no structured data like JSON-LD detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from improved performance tuning and accessibility enhancements to reduce technical debt and improve user engagement.
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.
