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

Seven.One Studios is a leading German-based media company specializing in the creation and distribution of entertainment content including scripted and unscripted TV shows, films, and branded content. It operates as part of the larger ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE group, positioning itself strongly in the European and global media markets. The company serves global networks and digital platforms with a diverse portfolio of popular formats and productions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and integrates modern web technologies including Usercentrics for consent management and Tealium for tag management, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site supports modern TLS protocols and has SPF and DMARC email protections but lacks advanced SSL features such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and DNSSEC, which are recommended for enhanced security. Overall, the company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact and compliance information, but could improve its security posture to reduce risk.

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. 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

  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

Seven.One Studios holds a strong market position as a content creator and distributor within the media sector, leveraging its parent company ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE's resources and network. Its business model focuses on producing and licensing entertainment content across multiple formats and territories. The company targets broadcasters, streaming platforms, and global audiences. Its portfolio includes well-known shows like Married at First Sight and Vienna Blood, indicating strong brand recognition. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and production companies under its umbrella suggests a diversified operational structure. The website content and news updates indicate active engagement in industry developments and content expansion. The company benefits from trust signals such as corporate transparency, compliance documentation, and professional branding.

Security posture

The current security posture of Seven.One Studios' website is moderate. The use of TLS 1.2 and 1.3 protocols and absence of known SSL vulnerabilities are positive indicators. Email security is supported by valid SPF and DMARC records, reducing spoofing risks. However, the absence of HSTS, OCSP stapling, DNSSEC, and CAA records represents gaps that could expose the site to certain attacks such as downgrade attacks, certificate misuse, and DNS spoofing. The lack of a security.txt file or explicit vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and incident response readiness. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, while basic security best practices are implemented, there is room for improvement to meet higher security standards and reduce potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Deploy DNSSEC to protect DNS queries from spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
  4. Add CAA DNS records to restrict which certificate authorities can issue certificates for the domain.
  5. Publish a security.txt file and establish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with a custom theme and uses modern JavaScript modules and CSS assets. It integrates third-party services such as Vimeo for video hosting, Usercentrics for cookie consent management, and Tealium for tag management and analytics. The DNS setup includes SPF and DMARC records for email security but lacks DNSSEC and CAA records. SSL configuration supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3 but misses advanced features like HSTS and OCSP stapling. Performance metrics indicate moderate load times and resource counts, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is adequate for current business needs but could benefit from security and performance enhancements to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
