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

3 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Paramount's market position as a leading entertainment content producer is supported by its extensive brand portfolio and streaming services. The business model focuses on content creation, distribution, and direct-to-consumer streaming, targeting a broad global audience. The company benefits from strong brand recognition, diversified revenue streams including advertising and subscriptions, and a robust partnership ecosystem. The website's investor relations and career sections indicate organizational transparency and growth orientation. Strategic observations include leveraging digital platforms for content delivery and maintaining compliance with privacy regulations to sustain consumer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and integration of bot protection via reCAPTCHA. Cookie consent is managed through OneTrust, reflecting GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of explicitly declared security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact points is a gap in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align with industry standards but could be strengthened by publishing dedicated security documentation and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly declare comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including verified company emails and phone numbers, to improve user trust and support.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy focusing on continuous compliance monitoring and user data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform, utilizing Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Adobe DTM, and OneTrust for analytics and privacy management. The use of reCAPTCHA enhances bot protection. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Technical debt is minimal, but explicit security headers and detailed technical documentation could improve the overall technical maturity. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. The site demonstrates a well-maintained infrastructure suitable for an enterprise media company.
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.
