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
    • 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 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

NBCUniversal holds a prominent position in the media industry as a subsidiary of Comcast. Its business model focuses on content creation and distribution across multiple platforms, targeting a broad general audience. The company leverages partnerships, such as with its parent Comcast, and maintains a strong social media presence to engage users. The website content and newsroom updates indicate active engagement with current media trends and corporate communications. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on corporate communications through controlled channels. The company’s digital presence reflects a strategic approach to brand consistency and market leadership.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Datadog RUM for real-time monitoring, which are positive indicators of security awareness. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy controls. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The WHOIS data is incomplete, which may be due to privacy protection but warrants monitoring. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by formalizing security disclosures and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance WHOIS registration details visibility if possible to improve domain trustworthiness and reduce ambiguity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 10 CMS, indicating a modern and scalable content management system. It uses FontAwesome for icons and integrates Google Tag Manager and Datadog RUM for analytics and performance monitoring. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with multimedia content such as videos and images optimized for desktop and mobile. The technical stack is robust but could benefit from additional security headers and enhanced SEO metadata for further 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.
