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

Mixkit is a free resource platform offering high-quality stock video footage, music tracks, sound effects, and Premiere Pro templates targeted at video and content creators. Owned by Envato, a reputable digital assets company, Mixkit positions itself as a niche provider of free creative assets with a strong market presence supported by its parent company. The website demonstrates excellent content quality, professional design, and clear navigation, catering effectively to its target audience. Technically, Mixkit employs modern JavaScript frameworks, integrates error monitoring via Rollbar, and manages user consent with Cookiebot, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, Cloudflare DNS, and error monitoring, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved.

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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Mixkit operates in the media sector as a free provider of creative assets, leveraging Envato's ecosystem to enhance credibility and reach. Its business model focuses on offering free, curated content to attract creators, potentially driving traffic and brand recognition for Envato's paid services. The platform targets video producers, content creators, and media professionals seeking royalty-free assets. Strategic partnerships with Envato and integration of marketing and analytics tools indicate a data-driven approach to growth and user engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital-first customer interaction model. Mixkit's growth potential is supported by its affiliation with a large parent company and its niche focus on free assets, positioning it well against competitors in the stock media space.

Security posture

Mixkit demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare DNS services likely providing DDoS protection and performance benefits. The integration of Rollbar for real-time error monitoring enhances operational security by enabling rapid detection of issues. Cookiebot ensures compliance with privacy regulations through consent management. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may hinder trust from security-conscious users. The lack of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, Mixkit's security posture is good but could benefit from publishing dedicated security documentation and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a dedicated security policy page to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve trust and responsiveness.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with frameworks such as Turbo and StimulusJS, ensuring dynamic and responsive user experiences. It leverages third-party services including Rollbar for error tracking, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google Analytics for user behavior insights. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast, and the technical stack supports scalability and maintainability. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and publish more comprehensive security 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.
