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. 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

  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. 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';…

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

Mediaocean operates in the media and advertising technology sector, targeting enterprise clients such as advertisers, agencies, and media owners. Their business model focuses on SaaS and platform services that automate and optimize advertising workflows across multiple channels. The company leverages AI to enhance campaign speed and efficiency, positioning itself as a foundational partner in the ecosystem. Their ecosystem includes strategic partners and subsidiaries, enhancing their product offerings and market reach. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting their enterprise market positioning. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via web forms, typical for enterprise B2B companies. The company maintains a strong social media presence and regularly publishes market reports and press releases, indicating active engagement and thought leadership.

Security posture

Mediaocean's website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes security headers that enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities. The presence of a comprehensive cookie consent banner with granular controls indicates good privacy compliance practices. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is well managed, with no exposed sensitive data detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and security maturity. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were identified in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit security documentation and direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct security contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy policy disclosures to align with evolving compliance requirements.

The website is built on Drupal 11 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as AOS for animations and Swiper.js for sliders, ensuring a dynamic and responsive user experience.

The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO best practices including meta tags and Open Graph data.

Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for performance optimization.
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.
