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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention neat.tube, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for neat.tube right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business operates in the technology sector focusing on decentralized video hosting using PeerTube, targeting users seeking privacy-respecting alternatives to mainstream video platforms. The business model centers on providing hosting infrastructure and user authentication via OpenID Connect. Market positioning is niche but consistent with growing interest in federated video services. The company benefits from a small but focused operation with no detected partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of explicit contact information and formal policies suggests an early-stage or privacy-conscious approach. The presence of Mastodon and Twitter social links indicates engagement with the open-source and privacy communities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status flags preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. OpenID Connect integration enhances authentication security. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The platform would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and implementing additional HTTP security headers to strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and well-maintained open-source platform PeerTube version 7.2.3, using Angular 19 for frontend rendering. It supports advanced video streaming technologies such as HLS and WebRTC, and integrates OpenID Connect for authentication. Hosting infrastructure uses Cloudflare DNS and Porkbun domain registration, indicating reliable and reputable providers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD for business or organization. The site lacks some technical security enhancements such as DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for further hardening.
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.
