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. 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

RiversideFM's business model is subscription-based SaaS with free and paid tiers, catering to individual creators and enterprises. Their competitive advantage lies in local 4K recording technology, AI-powered editing tools, and integrated live streaming. The company has established partnerships and is trusted by major brands like Spotify, Microsoft, and Netflix, enhancing credibility. Their marketing ecosystem includes robust analytics and retargeting tools, supporting growth and customer acquisition. The company is headquartered in the USA, founded in 2019, and maintains a consistent brand identity across digital channels. Their support infrastructure includes a dedicated help center and contact portals, though direct phone support is not evident.

Security posture

The security maturity level is good, with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. The use of Google One Tap for authentication adds a layer of secure login experience. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The company would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  4. Add explicit Content-Security-Policy headers to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Webflow CMS, Cloudflare DNS, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Segment, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity. The use of Google One Tap enhances user authentication security and convenience. Performance is optimized with CDN usage and asynchronous script loading. The site is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features. Technical risks are minimal but could be further reduced by enabling DNSSEC and tightening security headers. The infrastructure supports scalability and feature flag management for controlled feature rollouts.
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.
