Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

65/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Panicstudio.tv is the online presence of Panic, a small US-based animation studio founded in 2017. The company specializes in creating memorable stories through animation, video production, and illustrations, targeting clients seeking creative multimedia content. The website is built using modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, indicating a contemporary digital infrastructure. While the site demonstrates good design quality and user experience, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as explicit contact information, which are important for compliance and trust. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved by adding security headers and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

Panic operates in the media sector as a creative animation studio with a niche focus on storytelling and craft. The business model revolves around providing animation and multimedia services to clients, likely including advertising agencies, brands, and entertainment projects. The domain age and WHOIS data align with a small, independent studio using privacy protection services common in the creative industry. The absence of detailed business registrations or certifications suggests a small or medium enterprise. The company leverages popular analytics and marketing tools, indicating an interest in digital marketing and audience insights. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified, suggesting a standalone operation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No forms or input fields were detected in the analyzed HTML, reducing immediate risk from injection attacks but also limiting user interaction. The site uses third-party tracking scripts from Google and Facebook, which raises privacy considerations but is standard practice. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder coordinated security improvements. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly enhanced with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Add standard security headers to protect against clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and cross-site scripting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a dedicated security or abuse email address for incident response.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, indicating good technical maturity and support for server-side rendering and SEO. The presence of Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel scripts shows integration with popular analytics and marketing platforms. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy based on WHOIS data, which is common for small businesses. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and CSS, but no explicit performance metrics were available. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks detected in the snippet. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing and search visibility. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
