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

Paramount+ is a leading global streaming service operated by Paramount Global, offering a wide range of live TV, movies, original programming, and news content. The platform targets general consumers seeking entertainment across multiple devices with a subscription-based model. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with modern JavaScript frameworks, integration of advanced security features such as Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, and compliance with privacy regulations including GDPR. The presence of OneTrust cookie consent and comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages further reinforce its commitment to user privacy and regulatory compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and fraud protection in payment processing. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data introduces a minor trust gap, likely due to privacy protections or registry policies. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and user-friendly, reflecting the stature of a major media enterprise.

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. 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.

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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

Paramount+ operates in the competitive streaming media sector, leveraging its extensive content library from CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and other Paramount brands. Its subscription model includes tiered plans with options for ad-supported and premium content, including Showtime integration. The platform's international reach is evident from localized content and multi-language support. Strategic partnerships with payment processors like Recurly and marketing tools like Braze indicate a sophisticated customer engagement and monetization strategy. The company maintains strong brand consistency and trust signals, positioning itself as a major player in the streaming market with a focus on user experience and content variety.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate automated abuse. Payment processing is handled securely via Recurly with fraud protection mechanisms. Parental controls and PIN protections add layers of user security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is supported by clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly detailed, which is common for consumer-facing media sites but could be improved. Overall, the security posture is strong and appropriate for the business context.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance transparency by publishing security incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to build user trust.
  2. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  3. Consider publishing data retention policies to improve privacy compliance clarity.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for security and privacy inquiries.
  5. Maintain up-to-date TLS configurations and monitor emerging security threats continuously.

  3. Use of advanced security and privacy technologies including reCAPTCHA Enterprise and OneTrust.
  4. No contact emails or phone numbers explicitly listed on the landing page; likely handled via support portals.
  5. No evidence of security incidents or vulnerabilities in the visible content.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js), service workers for offline capabilities, and advanced third-party integrations such as Braze for marketing and Adobe Access Enabler for authentication. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially on mobile devices. SEO and accessibility are well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and ARIA attributes. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the use of CDN and global assets indicates a scalable infrastructure. Technical debt appears minimal with ongoing feature flags and experimentation indicating active development. Opportunities exist to enhance performance and mobile optimization further.
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.
