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

Roku, Inc. is a leading technology company specializing in streaming entertainment devices, smart TVs, and smart home audio products. The company offers a comprehensive platform that enables consumers to stream thousands of channels and content options on their TVs. Roku holds a strong market position as a pioneer in streaming technology with a broad product portfolio and a robust digital ecosystem. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content, clear navigation, and consistent branding targeting consumers interested in streaming and smart home technology. Technically, the website is built on modern React frameworks and integrates advanced monitoring and analytics tools such as New Relic and Google Analytics. Hosting is primarily on AWS infrastructure, ensuring scalability. However, performance metrics indicate a slower load time, suggesting room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO practices are well implemented. From a security perspective, the site currently lacks a valid SSL certificate as per the provided SSL_INFO, which is a critical issue. No security headers are detected, and advanced security practices like HSTS and OCSP stapling are not enabled. While no immediate vulnerabilities are found, these gaps reduce the overall security posture and should be addressed promptly to protect user data and maintain trust. Overall, Roku's website demonstrates strong business credibility and privacy compliance with comprehensive policies and clear contact information. The risk assessment highlights the need for improved SSL management and security header implementation. Strategic recommendations include prioritizing SSL certificate renewal, enhancing security headers, and optimizing site performance to improve user experience and security assurance.

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 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

Roku operates in the technology sector, focusing on consumer electronics and digital streaming services. Its business model combines hardware sales (streaming players, smart TVs, audio devices) with a digital content platform that includes a channel store and advertising services. The company targets a broad consumer base seeking easy access to streaming entertainment and smart home integration. Roku's competitive advantage lies in its extensive channel ecosystem, user-friendly interface, and partnerships with content providers. The website's integration with multiple marketing and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and growth. The presence of multiple official domains and partner sites reflects a mature partnership ecosystem supporting various business functions.

Security posture

The current security posture of the Roku website shows significant room for improvement. The absence of a valid SSL certificate is a critical vulnerability that undermines user trust and data security. Additionally, the lack of security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential attacks like clickjacking and downgrade attacks. While no known vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the site uses multiple third-party scripts and tracking services, which require regular auditing to prevent supply chain risks. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating good data protection practices. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately renew and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to ensure HTTPS security.
  2. Implement essential security headers including HSTS, Content Security Policy (CSP), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and performance.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern React-based frontend with extensive use of client-side rendering and dynamic content loading. It integrates advanced monitoring and analytics tools such as New Relic and Google Analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting is primarily on AWS, providing scalability and reliability. However, the site exhibits slow load times (over 18 seconds), which could impact user experience and SEO rankings. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features appear basic and could be enhanced. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and security headers represents technical debt that should be prioritized. Overall, the technical stack is modern but requires optimization and security hardening.
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.
