0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

mave.io B.V. operates a European-focused video platform emphasizing privacy, user experience, and developer-friendly integration. The company offers a cookieless video streaming solution with features such as adaptive streaming, accessibility enhancements, API access, and open-source components. Positioned as a European alternative to major video platforms, mave.io targets developers and businesses seeking GDPR-compliant, customizable video solutions. The website reflects a modern, professional SaaS business with strong branding and customer testimonials from reputable clients like Sketch and Freedom Internet. Technically, the site is built using Hugo CMS, Alpine.js, Chart.js, and custom web components, delivering fast performance, excellent mobile optimization, and good accessibility. The platform uses HTTPS exclusively and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, explicit security headers and a published security policy are absent, representing areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy, cookie consent banner, and GDPR adherence. Security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure programs. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is justified for this business type. Overall, the site demonstrates high trustworthiness, professional content, and a strong commitment to privacy and user experience.

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 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

    • 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

mave.io operates in the technology sector as a small-sized SaaS provider specializing in video streaming and hosting. Its business model centers on providing a cookieless, GDPR-compliant video platform with developer-centric features and customization options. The company leverages open-source components and targets European markets, positioning itself as a privacy-focused alternative to global video platforms. Revenue likely derives from subscription plans as indicated by pricing links. Partnerships with companies like Sketch and Freedom Internet enhance credibility. The platform's focus on accessibility, API integration, and adaptive streaming indicates a competitive advantage in user experience and compliance. The absence of phone contact and physical addresses suggests a primarily digital-first operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive information in its HTML content. It uses modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries without known vulnerabilities. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No published security policy or incident response contacts were found, limiting transparency in handling security incidents. The cookie consent mechanism is present but could be enhanced with more granular user controls. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by adopting additional headers and formalizing security policies and disclosure programs.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanism to provide granular user choices and explicit opt-in/out.
  5. Consider adding physical address and phone contact details to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern static site generator (Hugo) combined with Alpine.js for interactivity and Chart.js for data visualization. It uses custom web components and ES modules loaded from a CDN, indicating a modular and performant architecture. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations such as automated subtitles and transcripts. Performance is fast with minimal blocking scripts and efficient asset loading. No CMS other than Hugo is detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site is hosted in Europe as per footer information. The technical stack is modern and well-suited for a SaaS video platform, with opportunities to improve security headers and formalize compliance documentation.
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.
