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

Fluid Player is an open source HTML5 video player designed to support industry-standard video advertising protocols such as VAST and VPAID, along with streaming protocols like MPEG-DASH and HLS. The platform targets web developers and publishers seeking a customizable and extensible video player solution with features including VR support and integration with popular frontend frameworks. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with comprehensive documentation and community engagement via GitHub. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics with privacy-conscious configurations such as IP anonymization. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security headers and incident response contacts are not evident. The absence of WHOIS registrant data introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy, but the overall digital footprint and open source nature support a moderate to high trust level. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing clear security policies, and providing direct contact channels for incident response to strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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. 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 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

Fluid Player occupies a niche in the HTML5 video player market by offering a free, open source solution with strong advertising and streaming capabilities. Its business model leverages community contributions and commercial integrations such as WordPress plugins and CDN hosting. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its compatibility with advertising standards and support for modern streaming and VR technologies. The target customer segments include web developers, content publishers, and businesses requiring customizable video playback solutions. The partnership with ExoClick for advertising and the presence on GitHub indicate an active ecosystem. Growth potential is supported by ongoing documentation updates and feature enhancements. However, the lack of explicit company contact information and registrant transparency may limit enterprise adoption.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and privacy-conscious analytics configurations. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site does not provide a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability management. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an open source project but with room for improvement to meet enterprise standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration details to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates Google Analytics with IP anonymization and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The use of CDN-hosted assets and asynchronous script loading supports moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices evident through meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or static site approach. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize compliance documentation.
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.
