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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 sector, targeting large advertisers and agencies with a SaaS platform that integrates ad tech and media buying infrastructure. Their business model focuses on providing AI-powered optimization and orchestration across multiple advertising channels. The company maintains partnerships with Innovid and Flashtalking and promotes its Prisma brand as a consolidated advertising infrastructure solution. The website content and structure indicate a well-established enterprise with a global reach and a focus on education and industry thought leadership. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via forms and partner portals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern security best practices such as consent management and secure form validation. Tracking and analytics are implemented responsibly with user consent defaults set to denied for ad and analytics storage. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security policy pages, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. Adding a security.txt file and publishing incident response procedures would enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and controls.
  2. Implement and link a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Add Data Protection Officer contact information to improve GDPR transparency.
  5. Enhance security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy explicitly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, AOS for animations, and Swiper.js for carousels. Marketing automation is integrated via Marketo Munchkin, and analytics are managed through Google Tag Manager. Video content is embedded using Vimeo Player API with event tracking. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and multiple external scripts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise media technology company.
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.
