Risk levelMedium

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

Panicstudio.tv represents a small US-based animation studio specializing in creative storytelling through animation, video, and illustration services. The website presents a professional and modern design built on React and Next.js frameworks, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure. While the site is accessible and well-structured, it lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are critical for compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing key security headers and DNSSEC. Tracking technologies like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used without visible consent mechanisms, posing privacy compliance risks. Overall, the site is legitimate and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security hardening.

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

6 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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

The business operates in the media sector, targeting clients seeking high-quality animation and creative media production. Founded in 2017, the company maintains privacy protection on its domain registration, which is typical for small creative agencies. The business model focuses on service delivery in animation and related creative fields. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The website content and branding are consistent, supporting a niche market position. Absence of contact details and compliance policies may limit trust and client engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. DNSSEC is not enabled, leaving DNS queries potentially vulnerable. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder responsible security reporting. Tracking scripts are present without clear user consent, raising privacy concerns. The overall security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information including company email and phone numbers to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js) and includes preloading of fonts and assets for performance optimization. Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are integrated for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized but lacks accessibility enhancements. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registrar is GoDaddy with privacy protection enabled. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Technical debt appears low but security and compliance gaps exist.
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.
