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

Skandha Media Services is a specialized provider of cloud video platform solutions tailored for DigitalTV and PayTV operators, broadcasters, OTT platforms, and advertising agencies. Their offerings include AI Ops, cloud playout solutions like BluLive Pro, and AI-powered ad delivery verification through Evince. The company positions itself as a reliable and innovative partner in the media technology sector, serving a medium-sized business footprint primarily in India. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, with a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates gaps in compliance with data protection regulations. Security-wise, the site lacks visible security headers and incident response contacts, though it proudly displays ISO 27001-2022 certification, signaling a commitment to information security standards. The missing WHOIS data for the domain introduces some legitimacy concerns, warranting further verification. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Skandha Media Services operates in the media and technology sectors, targeting broadcasters, OTT platforms, and advertising agencies with cloud-based media solutions. Their business model is B2B, focusing on managed services and software products that optimize media delivery and operations. The company demonstrates a strong partnership ecosystem with notable clients and emphasizes innovation through AI and cloud technologies. Growth indicators include recent press releases about expansion and leadership hires. The lack of public WHOIS data is unusual and may reflect privacy protection or registration issues. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact information and certifications, supporting credibility in a competitive market.

Security posture

The website shows a moderate security maturity level. It uses HTTPS (assumed though not explicitly confirmed in HTML), and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. No visible vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. The site lacks explicit incident response or abuse contact information, which is important for security readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The ISO 27001-2022 certification suggests internal security controls are in place, but this is not fully reflected in the website's security posture. Overall, the site is functional but could improve transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish incident response and abuse contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and disclose domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and discoverability.

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. The site loads multiple JavaScript and CSS assets locally, indicating a controlled hosting environment. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. No CMS or backend platform is identified from the HTML. The site lacks advanced SEO meta tags beyond basic description and viewport settings. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal user tracking. The site is mobile optimized and has clear navigation structure. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of privacy compliance features.
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.
