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

Discovered USA, Inc. operates discovered.tv, a globally connected digital platform and social network designed to empower filmmakers, musicians, and content creators by providing a revenue-sharing model. The platform offers live streaming, video on demand, and social networking features, targeting creators and fans seeking to monetize and engage with media content. The company has established a moderate market position within the media streaming niche, emphasizing creator monetization and community engagement. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and integrates with multiple app platforms such as Android, iOS, Roku, and Amazon Appstore. Hosting and DNS services leverage Cloudflare for performance and security. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic, with privacy and terms pages present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the platform demonstrates a good level of professionalism and technical maturity suitable for its business model.

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

5 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 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';…

  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

  • 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

The business targets content creators and media consumers, offering a 50/50 advertising revenue share to incentivize content production and live streaming. Its multi-platform presence and social networking features position it competitively in the digital media space. The absence of direct contact information and use of domain privacy services are common in this sector but may impact trust for some users. Advertising and tracking integrations are standard, supporting monetization and marketing efforts. The company appears to be medium-sized, founded in 2017, with a focus on media and entertainment sectors. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, which are positive security measures. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security robustness. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, which could hinder transparency and preparedness. The platform does not currently implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score reflects a moderate posture with recommendations to enhance header policies and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Provide clear and accessible contact information for support and security inquiries to enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of popular front-end libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and Bootstrap, ensuring responsive design and good user experience across devices. Integration with Google services (Analytics, Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA) and Microsoft Clarity indicates a mature approach to analytics and user behavior tracking. Hosting via Cloudflare provides CDN and DNS resilience but DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a technical gap. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of modern image formats. Accessibility features are basic, with potential for improvement. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
