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

Skybound is a well-established entertainment company specializing in comics, games, TV, movies, and merchandise. The website showcases popular intellectual properties such as The Walking Dead and Invincible, targeting fans and consumers of entertainment media. The business model includes content creation, licensing, and direct merchandise sales. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like SvelteKit and integrates advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Amplitude, and Braze. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a professional user experience. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the site is credible and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security best practices.

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

    • 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

Skybound holds a strong market position in the media and entertainment sector with a focus on comic publishing, game development, and TV/movie production. Their revenue streams include content licensing and merchandise sales through an official online store. The company targets a broad audience of entertainment fans and collectors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and active marketing efforts. Partnerships with related domains like store.skybound.com and insiders.skybound.com support their ecosystem. The absence of detailed WHOIS data is unusual but does not currently detract from the brand's market credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing services. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No direct contact information for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures is provided, and no security.txt file is found. The site does not display privacy or cookie policies, which may impact GDPR compliance. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, privacy disclosures, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS domain registration transparency or provide justification for privacy protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, notably the SvelteKit framework, which supports fast and reactive user interfaces. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Amplitude, and Braze, indicating a mature approach to user engagement and data collection. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve load times. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly identified. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence but should address security header implementation and privacy compliance to 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.
