61/100

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

DIRECTV is a major US-based telecommunications company specializing in satellite and streaming television services. The website promotes subscription-based offerings such as Genre Packs and sports packages, targeting a broad general audience interested in entertainment content. The company maintains a strong market position as a leading provider in the US TV streaming and satellite sector. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks like Next.js and Material UI, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The use of multiple analytics and advertising platforms indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-branded, though the absence of WHOIS data slightly reduces domain transparency and trust.

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. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

DIRECTV operates a subscription-based business model focused on delivering television content via satellite and streaming platforms. Its target customers are US consumers seeking diverse entertainment options. The company leverages partnerships with major advertising and analytics providers to optimize marketing efforts. The website's structured data and social media presence reinforce its brand credibility. While WHOIS data is unavailable, the company's established market presence and professional online footprint suggest a stable and reputable business. No subsidiaries or parent company information was found in the analyzed content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive information. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce its security maturity. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were detected. The extensive use of third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR is not clearly indicated, and cookie consent mechanisms appear absent. Enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and implementing vulnerability disclosure processes would strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and incident handling.
  4. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve user trust.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration details on the website to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Next.js) combined with Material UI for styling and layout, ensuring responsive and accessible design. Fonts are loaded efficiently with preloading of WOFF2 files. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Adobe mPulse, TikTok Analytics, Amazon Ads, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a sophisticated marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and SEO metadata present. No CMS or hosting provider details were identified from the content. The site lacks some security headers and explicit privacy-related pages, which are technical gaps to address.
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.
