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

Film Production Hub is a Malta-based company specializing in film and TV production services, including development, pre-production, production, and servicing. Managed by an industry veteran with over 30 years of experience, the company has established itself as a key player in Malta's audiovisual sector, servicing international productions and collaborating with major studios and award-winning professionals. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as React and Webpack, and hosted on Wix's infrastructure. While the site is functional and professionally designed, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, which are essential for GDPR compliance. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and some JavaScript hardening, but absence of security headers and incident response information indicates room for improvement. Overall, the site presents a moderate risk profile with good business credibility but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security posture.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  4. 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';…

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 company targets international film and TV producers seeking production and servicing in Malta, offering a full range of services from development to production servicing. Its market position is strengthened by experienced leadership and a portfolio including Hollywood productions. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on high-quality, cost-effective production support. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting trust and credibility. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found. The company appears small in size but well-established within its niche.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes scripts to harden fetch and XMLHttpRequest calls, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit security policies and incident response contacts is a gap in security governance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  3. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in forms and data handling.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Wix.com Website Builder, utilizing React and Webpack for frontend rendering. It uses Wix's Thunderbolt platform and is hosted on Wix's CDN infrastructure (parastorage.com and wixstatic.com). The site loads multiple JavaScript bundles asynchronously and uses modern CSS and font loading techniques. Performance is moderate with some optimizations possible. Mobile optimization is basic, with responsive design limited. Accessibility features are minimal but present. SEO metadata is basic with Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for the website entity only. No advanced SEO or schema markup for business or products is present.
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.
