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. 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

Laifeng.com operates in the media sector as a large-scale live streaming platform, leveraging Alibaba Cloud services for hosting and domain registration. Its business model revolves around live video content, social interaction, and integrated e-commerce, targeting general consumers in China. The platform maintains partnerships with domains like yv.laifeng.com and Youku for content delivery and infrastructure. Revenue streams likely include advertising, virtual gifting, and e-commerce sales. The company demonstrates strong market presence with regulatory compliance and multiple certifications. The partnership ecosystem includes entertainment agencies and cultural organizations, enhancing content diversity. Growth indicators include active streamer listings and user engagement metrics. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in technology and content to maintain competitive advantage in the crowded Chinese live streaming market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and avoids exposing sensitive tokens in the HTML content. However, it lacks DNSSEC, which could improve domain name system security. No explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, representing an area for improvement. The use of third-party scripts like CNZZ analytics introduces moderate tracking but no known vulnerable libraries were identified. Incident response contacts are provided via multiple dedicated emails, indicating some level of security governance. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests limited formal vulnerability management transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for enhancements in headers, DNS security, and formal vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  4. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including React for UI rendering and FLV.js for video streaming, supported by Alibaba Cloud infrastructure. Static assets and fallback mechanisms leverage Youku and Alibaba CDN domains. The site is mobile optimized with responsive CSS and includes JavaScript-based analytics via CNZZ. Performance is moderate, with some caching controls set to no-cache which may impact speed. The HTML is valid and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags in Chinese. Accessibility is basic, with no ARIA landmarks or advanced features detected. The platform appears custom-built rather than using a common CMS. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could expose the site to certain attacks. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from security and accessibility improvements.
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.
