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

Firestorm Media is a small US-based media technology company specializing in video production and content delivery network (CDN) services. The company emphasizes flexibility, innovation, and delivering technology solutions tailored to business needs. Their CDN infrastructure is geographically distributed and trusted by industry leaders, supporting high-definition streaming and content monetization. The website content is minimal but relevant, focusing on core services and company values. Technically, the website uses basic technologies including jQuery 1.x and Google Material Icons, with DNS and hosting infrastructure leveraging Cloudflare services. However, the site serves some scripts over HTTP, lacks DNSSEC, and does not implement common security headers, indicating moderate technical maturity with room for improvement. The site is accessible without WAF or security challenges. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS for all resources, missing security headers, and outdated libraries present vulnerabilities. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are published, limiting compliance with GDPR and other regulations. The domain is privacy protected but longstanding, consistent with the business age and sector norms. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices. The overall risk is moderate with no critical issues detected. Strategic improvements in security headers, HTTPS enforcement, privacy documentation, and updated technology stack would significantly enhance trust and compliance. Adding clear contact information and policies would improve business credibility and user confidence.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

Firestorm Media operates in the media technology sector, focusing on video production and CDN services. Their market position is that of an established small business with over a decade of experience, serving industry leaders with geographically load-balanced CDN infrastructure. The business model centers on technology service provision with revenue likely from content delivery and monetization services. Target customers include businesses requiring video streaming and media content delivery solutions. The company uses privacy protection for domain registration, which is common in this sector. No partnerships or subsidiaries are publicly linked. The website content is minimal but professional, indicating a focused but small-scale operation.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate with notable gaps. The site lacks HTTPS enforcement for all resources, uses an outdated jQuery version served over HTTP, and does not implement standard security headers. No privacy or security policies are published, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. The domain uses privacy protection, which is justified. No exposed sensitive data or critical vulnerabilities were detected in the content. The absence of contact information for security or abuse reporting reduces incident response readiness. Overall, the security culture appears basic and would benefit from formalized policies and technical improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Enforce HTTPS for all website resources and update all external script references to HTTPS to eliminate mixed content risks.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve legal compliance and user trust, including GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Upgrade jQuery and other libraries to supported, secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incident reporting to improve transparency and incident response capabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with jQuery 1.x and Google Material Icons. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing robust infrastructure but DNSSEC is not enabled. The site loads some scripts over HTTP, which is a security risk and may affect performance and user trust. The HTML structure is valid but minimal, with basic CSS styling. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. SEO optimization is minimal with no meta description or Open Graph tags detected. The site performance is moderate, with no major errors but outdated technology and lack of modern frameworks indicate technical debt. Modernization opportunities include upgrading libraries, enabling HTTPS fully, and improving SEO and accessibility features.
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.
