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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • 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

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 operates on a subscription and enterprise service model, offering live streaming, video hosting, and monetization tools. Their target customers include enterprises, small businesses, educators, and marketers. Vimeo Livestream benefits from Vimeo's extensive ecosystem and brand recognition, providing competitive advantages in technology and market reach. The company maintains partnerships and integrations with social media platforms and uses AI-powered video tools to enhance user experience. Growth indicators include continuous product releases and a broad feature set catering to diverse streaming needs. The business model emphasizes scalability, security, and professional-grade streaming capabilities.

Security posture

The security maturity level is high, with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and domain registration protections that prevent unauthorized changes. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a compliance gap. Data protection practices appear sound, supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent management. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not explicitly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Consider providing direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to align with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, leveraging Vimeo's CDN and AWS hosting for performance and scalability. The use of Builder.io CMS allows flexible content management. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and scripts, and mobile responsiveness is excellent. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. No technical debt or legacy technologies were detected. The site integrates third-party widgets for consent management and marketing, balancing functionality with privacy compliance.
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.
