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

ShowHeroes Group is a medium-sized, globally active company specializing in contextual video and CTV advertising solutions. It operates four subsidiary brands that provide video content, advertising technology, and media experiences for publishers and advertisers. The company positions itself as a leader in Europe with a strong portfolio and client base including major global brands. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, hosted on DigitalOcean, and uses modern JavaScript modules along with marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected. Privacy compliance is good with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR considerations. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are exposed on the homepage, which may limit immediate contact but aligns with privacy best practices. Overall, the website and domain registration data indicate a trustworthy and professional digital presence.

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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The company targets digital publishers and advertisers seeking advanced video advertising solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in proprietary semantic video technology and a comprehensive video content library. Revenue streams likely include licensing video technology, advertising services, and content production. The presence of multiple brands under the group umbrella suggests a diversified portfolio catering to different market segments. The company demonstrates growth with nearly 400 employees and operations in 25 markets. Partnerships and client logos indicate strong industry relationships. The business model is B2B focused on technology and media sectors.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are active. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as CSP or HSTS represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The website uses third-party marketing and analytics scripts, which may introduce privacy considerations but are common in the industry. No published security policy or incident response contacts reduce transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting external security reporting channels. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Review third-party scripts for privacy compliance and minimize tracking where possible to enhance user trust.

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.
