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 leverages its affiliation with Envato to provide free, high-quality creative assets, differentiating itself in the competitive stock media market by offering no-cost downloads without attribution requirements. Its business model focuses on user acquisition and brand building, likely driving traffic to Envato's paid marketplaces. The target customers are video editors, content creators, and media professionals seeking accessible resources. The presence of social media channels on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok supports community engagement and marketing. The platform's partnership with Envato and use of Envato's privacy and cookie policies indicate a tightly integrated ecosystem. Growth potential is supported by the free offering and strong brand association, though direct monetization details are not disclosed. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital-first customer interaction model.

Security posture

Mixkit demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including CSP and HSTS. The integration of Rollbar for real-time error and exception monitoring enhances operational security and incident detection. Cookiebot ensures GDPR-compliant cookie consent management, reflecting attention to privacy regulations. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information, which are best practices for transparency and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and tracking pixels is disclosed and managed via consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user protections.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and performant technology stack including Turbo (Hotwire) for navigation, Rollbar for error tracking, and Cookiebot for consent management. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, optimized for mobile devices, and employs SVG graphics for crisp branding. Performance is fast with preconnect and preload hints for critical resources. Accessibility features are present but could be enhanced further. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely use a reputable CDN and cloud infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience with room for incremental improvements in accessibility and 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.
