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. 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

  2. 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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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

Dailymotion holds a significant position in the online media industry, competing with other major video platforms. Its business model revolves around video content hosting and advertising revenue. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem, including advertising and developer domains, enhancing its service offerings. The absence of direct contact information on the main site suggests a focus on digital engagement channels and social media. The platform's compliance with GDPR and use of consent management tools indicate a strong commitment to privacy, which is critical in its market segment. Growth indicators include continuous technical updates and integration of marketing and tracking tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and consent management for GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure programs represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts and advertising SDKs necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and establishing clear communication channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for security and privacy inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and advertising technologies for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack centered on React and JavaScript ES6+, bundled with Webpack for efficient loading. It integrates Google One Tap for authentication, Hubvisor for advertising analytics, and Sourcepoint for consent management, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Performance optimizations include preloading critical scripts and assets, responsive design for mobile devices, and structured navigation. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but likely involve scalable cloud infrastructure given the global reach. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require vigilant security management.
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.
