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. 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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

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

PlayHT operates a SaaS business model offering AI voice generation services with tiered subscription plans including free and enterprise options. Its target market includes content creators, enterprises needing voiceovers, and developers integrating voice APIs. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its extensive voice library, multi-language support, and advanced voice cloning capabilities. The presence of partner logos from major companies indicates a strong ecosystem and market acceptance. The company leverages cloud infrastructure for scalability and performance. However, direct contact information is not prominently displayed, which may affect direct customer engagement. The business shows signs of growth and maturity with a clear focus on AI-driven voice technology.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. Use of Cloudflare DNS adds a layer of protection. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and should be implemented to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional header hardening and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options headers to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user privacy controls.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, providing server-side rendering and optimized performance. Assets are hosted on AWS S3, and DNS is managed via Cloudflare, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD for products and FAQs. Performance appears fast with preloading of fonts and images. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based build. The technical stack supports the business model effectively, though some security header enhancements are recommended to reduce risk.
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.
