75/100

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

Odysee is a decentralized video sharing platform that enables users to explore and share videos created by regular people. The platform positions itself as an alternative to mainstream video hosting services, focusing on user-generated content and community engagement. The website is technically mature, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks such as React and VideoJS, and implements progressive web app features including service workers. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security. The platform uses HTTPS and enforces clientTransferProhibited status on its domain, indicating good domain security practices. However, the site lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. No contact information or security incident response details are provided, limiting transparency in these areas. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and trustworthy, but could improve in privacy and security policy disclosures.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Odysee operates in the media sector as a user-generated content video platform. It targets a general audience interested in decentralized and censorship-resistant video sharing. The business model likely revolves around content hosting and community engagement, possibly with monetization through content creator incentives or platform services. The domain age (since 2002) supports a mature market presence. The platform's use of Cloudflare for registrar and DNS services indicates a focus on reliability and security. The absence of explicit business contact details and policy documents suggests areas for growth in corporate transparency and compliance. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its decentralized approach and community-driven content curation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place. The use of Cloudflare services adds a layer of security and performance optimization. Google Analytics is implemented with consent denied by default, reflecting some privacy-conscious practices. However, the lack of security headers, vulnerability disclosure policies, and incident response contacts are notable gaps. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a potential security improvement area. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The overall security score is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and implementing additional security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and platform rules.
  4. Provide visible contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  6. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  7. Improve accessibility features to enhance compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including React and VideoJS for video playback and UI rendering. It leverages service workers for progressive web app capabilities, improving offline and mobile experiences. Hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, providing robust infrastructure support. The site includes Google Analytics with consent management, though no other tracking or advertising networks were detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for enhancements in security and privacy features.
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.
