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

6 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 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

    • 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

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 in the technology sector, focusing on IPTV playlist editing tools delivered as a free online service with cloud storage capabilities. Its competitive advantage lies in ease of use, no installation requirement, and support for multiple IPTV formats including EPG. The business model appears to be freemium or free with potential for upselling or premium features. The target market includes IPTV enthusiasts and professionals managing IPTV content. The company maintains a clean brand image with consistent messaging and user trust signals such as OAuth login and user ratings. The partnership ecosystem includes Google for authentication services. Growth indicators include a user base of over 2000 and active engagement through documentation and support resources.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, encrypted data handling, and OAuth-based authentication. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is good with a privacy policy and terms of service present, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The site does not appear to collect excessive user data or employ extensive tracking, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan with contact details.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to ensure no hidden risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and more detailed privacy disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and lightweight frontend stack including Tailwind CSS and Google Fonts, ensuring fast load times and responsive design. OAuth 2.0 integration with Google provides secure and user-friendly authentication. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. No CMS or backend technologies are explicitly identified. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is fast with optimized assets and minimal external dependencies. Accessibility is good with clear navigation and language alternatives. Technical risks are low but could be further mitigated by adding security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
