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

Ocean Blue Software Ltd. is a UK-based company specializing in Smart TV and broadcast software services, including middleware development, testing, certification, and platform integration. Established in 2005, it serves a global clientele including TV operators, manufacturers, and silicon partners. The company positions itself as a trusted partner with over 20 years of industry experience and a strong presence in the broadcast and Smart TV ecosystem. Their website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built on Next.js and React frameworks, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with consent mechanisms, indicating compliance with GDPR standards. However, direct contact information such as emails or phone numbers is not prominently displayed on the homepage, which may affect immediate customer engagement. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent in place, but the absence of explicit security headers and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed due to a domain naming error, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and branding strongly indicate a legitimate business. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, with recommendations to enhance security headers and provide clearer contact channels.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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';…

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

Ocean Blue Software operates in the technology and media sectors, focusing on B2B services for the Smart TV and broadcast industry. Their competitive advantage lies in deep industry expertise, a comprehensive service portfolio covering software development, testing, and platform integration, and partnerships with leading brands such as Sky, Roku, and Sony. The business model revolves around providing specialized software solutions and team augmentation services to accelerate product launches and reduce complexity for clients. The company targets TV operators, manufacturers, broadcasters, and platform providers globally. Growth indicators include a global team, multiple offices, and a strong brand presence. The partnership ecosystem is evidenced by trade association memberships and collaborations with industry leaders. Strategic observations highlight the importance of resolving domain registration inconsistencies to reinforce trust and ensure seamless digital operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner indicating privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is provided, which could hinder effective vulnerability management and incident handling. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files. The use of modern frameworks and limited third-party scripts reduces exposure to vulnerabilities, but continuous monitoring and security header implementation are recommended. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but further transparency on data retention and incident response would strengthen the security culture. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved with additional best practices and explicit policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels to improve vulnerability management and customer trust.
  3. Enhance transparency on data protection practices including data retention policies and user rights to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  4. Add clear and accessible company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to improve customer engagement and credibility.
  5. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and reinforce domain legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates integration of analytics and marketing tools. The site structure is well-organized with proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter Cards). Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. The site loads efficiently with preloaded fonts and images, and lazy loading for media assets. Technical risks include the lack of explicit security headers and incomplete WHOIS data which may impact trust and domain management. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and modern, supporting a professional digital presence.
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.
