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

4 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

The business targets a broad spectrum of customers including enterprises, content creators, educational institutions, and government organizations. Its subscription-based SaaS model is complemented by production services and software tools, enabling monetization and audience engagement. Vimeo Livestream benefits from Vimeo's parent company resources and brand recognition, enhancing market reach and trust. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem and offers tailored solutions for various sectors such as corporate, sports, worship, and media. Growth indicators include active marketing, customer testimonials, and continuous product development. The website reflects a strategic focus on enterprise clients with dedicated demos and support options.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs domain registration protections to prevent unauthorized changes. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance are actively managed, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests gaps in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with user consent mechanisms. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing formal security and incident response documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts.
  3. Implement and advertise a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance transparency and user control over data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with RequireJS for module loading, integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools (Mixpanel, Marketo, Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK), and serves rich media content including HTML5 video and SVG graphics. Hosting is via AWS DNS infrastructure, ensuring reliability and scalability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred styles. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to improve overall security posture.
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.
