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 holds a competitive position in the podcast and video production market, offering unique AI-powered editing and recording features that differentiate it from traditional tools. Its business model includes free and paid subscription tiers, appealing to a broad user base from individuals to enterprises. The company demonstrates strong market validation through high user ratings and partnerships with notable brands. Its digital ecosystem includes integrations with Google, Facebook, and Segment, supporting advanced marketing and analytics capabilities. The absence of privacy protection on WHOIS and consistent domain registration details reinforce legitimacy. Strategic growth is supported by a comprehensive resource hub, community engagement, and continuous feature innovation.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited domain status, reducing risks of unauthorized domain transfers. Use of Google Identity Services for authentication and cookie consent mechanisms indicate attention to user data protection. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site employs multiple third-party scripts, which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, RiversideFM demonstrates a mature security approach suitable for its SaaS business but should enhance transparency and DNS security.

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 to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to harden the web application.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS and hosted likely via Cloudflare and Webflow infrastructure, ensuring fast loading and scalability. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates with Google Tag Manager, Segment Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. The use of Google Identity Services for authentication reflects modern identity management practices. Performance is optimized with CDN usage and asynchronous script loading. Technical debt appears minimal, with clean HTML structure and well-managed third-party integrations. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and DNS configurations to further 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.
