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

FilmBooster.co.uk is a media platform targeting movie and TV enthusiasts, offering a multi-language database with trailers, reviews, watchlists, and personalized notifications. The site is part of a broader FilmBooster brand with multiple regional domains, indicating a focused niche presence in the entertainment media sector. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Video.js, integrates Google Tag Manager and Didomi for consent management, and supports video streaming with Google Cast SDK. The site is accessible, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced and cookie consent is implemented, but the site lacks explicit security headers, a published privacy policy, and contact information for incident response or data protection officers. The WHOIS lookup for the domain www.filmbooster.co.uk failed due to domain naming rules, suggesting the domain is a subdomain or alias rather than a registered domain, which impacts trust and legitimacy assessment. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security disclosures.

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

4 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

FilmBooster operates as a media content platform focusing on movie and TV fans, providing trailers, reviews, and personalized recommendations. Its business model centers on user engagement and content curation rather than direct sales. The presence of multiple regional domains suggests a strategy of localized content delivery. The platform likely generates revenue through advertising and possibly affiliate marketing with streaming services. The target audience includes movie and TV enthusiasts seeking community and content discovery. The lack of explicit business contact details and privacy policies may limit trust from more cautious users. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes regional FilmBooster sites, enhancing brand reach. Growth indicators include active video content and user profile features. Strategic observations recommend improving compliance and transparency to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR principles. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or security policies are published, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The WHOIS data absence and domain registration irregularity raise concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in security headers, incident response readiness, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including business and security incident response contacts.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Clarify domain registration and ownership to improve trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and common technology stack including jQuery, Video.js for media playback, Google Tag Manager for marketing and analytics, and Didomi for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred JavaScript. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but present. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Technical risks include lack of security headers and incomplete privacy disclosures, which could impact user trust and compliance.
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.
