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

Nexxen operates as a flexible programmatic advertising platform integrating demand-side and supply-side technologies with a centralized data platform and creative studio. It targets advertisers, publishers, and broadcasters with a unified tech stack designed to optimize digital and connected TV advertising. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, structured data, and SEO optimization. However, the technical infrastructure shows critical security weaknesses, notably an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, which undermine user trust and security. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms, but direct contact information is limited to forms without explicit emails or phone numbers. Overall, Nexxen presents as a credible business with room for improvement in security posture and direct contact transparency.

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.

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

Nexxen positions itself strongly in the programmatic advertising market, offering a full-stack solution that includes DSP, SSP, data management, and creative services. Its partnerships and curated marketplaces indicate a broad ecosystem engagement. The business model focuses on maximizing advertising ROI and operational efficiency for clients across digital and CTV channels. The presence of specialized solutions like green media products and healthcare advertising suggests targeted vertical strategies. The company leverages modern marketing tools and analytics to drive growth and maintain competitive advantage. The lack of explicit founding year or detailed corporate structure limits deeper business intelligence but the domain and content consistency support legitimacy.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which are critical for secure communications. While security headers are properly configured, the lack of HTTPS undermines these protections. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found, indicating limited transparency in security governance. The use of secure cookies and some best practices is positive, but the overall risk of data interception and user trust erosion is high. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhanced security policy publication are recommended to improve posture.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher immediately.
  2. Enable and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce secure connections.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website for better user trust and support.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and several plugins for SEO, analytics, and UI enhancements. Hosting is via WP Engine with Cloudflare CDN providing caching and security layers. The site uses modern SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD), Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Performance metrics are unavailable but the use of lazy loading and responsive design indicates good optimization efforts. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is severely lacking, with no valid certificate and no enabled TLS protocols, which is a critical technical risk. The site uses Google Analytics and MonsterInsights for tracking, and integrates LinkedIn Insight tags for marketing. Overall, the technical stack is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
