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 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. 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

  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 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

Alpha Networks operates in the media and telecommunications sectors, offering SaaS and software platforms for video streaming and OTT services. Their business model focuses on B2B engagements with content producers, sports organizations, and media companies. The company leverages partnerships with major industry players such as Bouygues, Vodafone, and Warner, enhancing its market credibility. Their growth is supported by a strong portfolio of case studies and a global customer base. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms, typical for enterprise service providers. The company’s digital marketing includes social media engagement and analytics tracking, indicating a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure contact forms, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces a moderate level of user tracking, balanced by privacy policy disclosures. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and public security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information or a dedicated security contact email on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance business contact information availability to improve trust and customer engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Nuxt.js, a Vue.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. The use of HTML5 video elements and responsive design ensures excellent multimedia delivery and mobile optimization. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site shows good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Performance appears fast with efficient use of resources and lazy loading of scripts. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA roles and landmarks.
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.
