Partial score · DNS & email only

75/100

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

CANAL+ Austria operates as a subscription-based streaming service offering a wide range of TV channels, movies, series, and live sports events targeted at Austrian consumers. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting multiple platforms including smart TVs and mobile devices. The technical infrastructure leverages ASP.NET, Umbraco CMS, Vue.js, and integrates third-party services such as Algolia for search and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare with a valid Extended Validation SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols and incomplete security header configurations represent areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. Business credibility is strong with transparent domain registration and clear contact information. Overall, the site presents a solid digital presence with room to enhance security and privacy practices.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Email Security Check Incomplete

      Some email security checks timed out

      What to do: Manual verification may be needed for complete assessment

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNS Health Check Incomplete

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 Canal+ Luxembourg S. à r.l. positions itself as a key media streaming provider in Austria, offering premium content including exclusive series, films, and sports. The business model is subscription-based, targeting consumers seeking flexible and high-quality entertainment options. The website supports multiple devices and integrates marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement. Partnerships with local providers like A1 enhance distribution and customer service capabilities. The presence of legal and support pages indicates a mature operational setup. Growth potential lies in expanding content offerings and improving user experience through technical enhancements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced via a valid EV certificate and several security headers implemented. However, critical gaps exist such as the lack of enabled TLS 1.2 or higher protocols, missing HSTS enforcement, and absence of OCSP stapling. No vulnerability disclosure or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site uses multiple third-party scripts which may increase attack surface if not properly managed. Overall, while no immediate vulnerabilities are detected, improvements in SSL/TLS configuration and security policy transparency are recommended to strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols to ensure secure and modern encryption standards.
  2. Activate HSTS header with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce HTTPS.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checks and reduce latency.
  4. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  5. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to foster trust and responsible reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including ASP.NET MVC backend, Umbraco CMS, and Vue.js frontend framework. It integrates Algolia for search functionality and uses Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and A/B testing. Hosting is provided via Cloudflare, offering CDN and security features. Performance metrics are incomplete but the site appears moderately optimized with lazy loading and responsive design. Some legacy scripts and missing TLS protocols indicate technical debt. Opportunities exist to modernize SSL/TLS settings, improve accessibility features, and enhance SEO metadata for better search engine visibility.
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.
