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

The website www.go.com serves as the top-level portal for The Walt Disney Company’s extensive online properties, including Disney+, Disney Parks, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and 20th Century Studios. It targets a broad audience of families, Disney fans, and entertainment consumers, providing access to streaming content, travel planning, retail shopping, and news. The site reflects Disney’s position as a leading global media and entertainment conglomerate with a diversified business model encompassing media, retail, and theme parks. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as React, New Relic monitoring, and Akamai CDN for performance and scalability. The presence of OneTrust for cookie consent and comprehensive privacy policies indicates a mature approach to privacy compliance. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices and fast loading times. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes security best practices such as cookie consent and monitoring tools. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly visible, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which is unusual but likely due to registry restrictions rather than malicious intent. Overall, the website is professionally designed, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations. The main risk lies in the lack of publicly available security policy details and WHOIS transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response information, adding a security.txt file, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 Walt Disney Company maintains a strong market position as a global leader in media and entertainment, leveraging its iconic brands and diversified portfolio. The business model integrates content creation, distribution via streaming platforms, theme parks, and retail operations. Revenue streams include subscription services (Disney+), park admissions, merchandise sales, and advertising. The company targets families and entertainment consumers worldwide, supported by a robust partnership ecosystem including Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN, and 20th Century Studios. Growth indicators include expansion of streaming content and theme park offerings. The website reflects a cohesive digital strategy aligned with corporate branding and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, use of cookie consent mechanisms, and integration of monitoring tools like New Relic. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. There is no evidence of security headers beyond HTTPS, and no security.txt file was found. The WHOIS data is missing, which reduces transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing detailed security and incident response information and implementing a formal vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Ensure all recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are explicitly set and documented.
  5. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and a proprietary CMS platform (Matterhorn). It leverages Akamai CDN for content delivery and New Relic for performance and error monitoring. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. Performance is fast with deferred loading of scripts and prefetching of assets. The technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience and scalability. Opportunities exist to enhance security header implementation and increase transparency in security practices.
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.
