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

Frame.io, a subsidiary of Adobe Inc., offers a secure SaaS platform centralizing media and creative workflows for professionals in media, entertainment, agencies, and brands. The platform enables efficient management of video, photos, design files, and documents to accelerate content creation and delivery. The website reflects a mature enterprise-grade service with strong branding and a comprehensive feature set tailored to creative industries. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like Next.js and React, hosted on AWS, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is good with HTTPS and domain registration protections, though public security policies and privacy compliance disclosures are lacking. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency on privacy and security policies.

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 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

  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

Frame.io holds a strong market position as a leading creative collaboration platform integrated within Adobe's ecosystem. Its SaaS business model targets creative professionals and enterprises requiring streamlined media workflows. The company leverages partnerships and brand trust from Adobe, serving large clients in media and entertainment sectors. The website's content and structure support a high level of professionalism and customer engagement through blogs, customer stories, and resource hubs. Growth potential is supported by continuous feature expansion and integration with cloud and mobile platforms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and domain registration safeguards. However, it lacks publicly accessible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and DNSSEC is not enabled, representing areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy disclosures indicates compliance gaps, especially under GDPR. Enhancing these areas would strengthen the overall security culture and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement and display cookie consent mechanisms to inform users and obtain consent.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including React and Next.js, leveraging AWS for hosting and CDN services. It uses HLS.js for video streaming capabilities. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with extensive use of preloading and asynchronous script loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features appear adequate though not fully detailed. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with opportunities to improve security headers and DNS configurations.
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.
