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

3 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

  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

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

maxdome operates on a transactional video-on-demand business model, allowing users to rent or purchase films and series individually. This model caters to customers who prefer pay-per-use over subscription services. The company benefits from a strong brand presence and partnerships, as indicated by its association with videociety GmbH. The platform's content catalog includes new releases, classics, and niche categories such as barrier-free content, appealing to diverse customer segments. Marketing efforts include the use of tracking pixels from Meta Platforms and engagement through multiple social media channels. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main page suggests a focus on digital customer service via forms and help centers. Growth potential lies in expanding content offerings and enhancing user engagement through improved security transparency and incident response readiness.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a presumably strong SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communication. It uses cookie consent banners compliant with GDPR, including options for necessary cookies only or full tracking consent. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, which limits transparency for security researchers. Forms are present for user login and registration, but no explicit anti-CSRF or input sanitization details are visible in the HTML. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The security posture is adequate for a media streaming platform but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features beyond basic compliance to improve user experience for all audiences.
  5. Consider providing direct company contact emails or phone numbers for customer support and security reporting to improve communication channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including the Bitmovin Player for video streaming and likely Bootstrap and jQuery for UI components and interactivity. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance appears moderate with external CDN usage for scripts and images. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and labels present but no advanced features. The site uses cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional streaming service but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
