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

Skyworks Ltd operates a professional and well-established aerial stock footage archive and filming service, claiming to be the world's largest HD aerial stock footage archive. The company targets media professionals and content creators globally, offering services including drone filming and establishing shots. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and consistent branding, reflecting a medium-sized business founded in 2000 in the United Kingdom. Technically, the site uses modern tracking and marketing technologies such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Drip, built on the Convertri platform, and hosted via Miss Group Ltd. The website is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly but lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts privacy compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but no detected security headers or incident response information. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the business, with a long domain age and consistent registration details.

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 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

Skyworks holds a strong market position as a leading provider of aerial stock footage, leveraging a large archive and global filming capabilities. The business model focuses on licensing footage and providing filming services, targeting filmmakers and media companies. The company benefits from a long operational history and a professional online presence. However, the lack of visible contact phone numbers, physical addresses, and social media links in the provided data suggests potential areas for improving customer engagement and transparency. The use of multiple marketing and tracking tools indicates an active digital marketing strategy. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for mature security governance. The presence of third-party tracking scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to ensure no vulnerable or privacy-invasive components are used.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide visible contact phone numbers and physical addresses to improve transparency and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Convertri platform, utilizing modern web fonts (Roboto, Alef, Open Sans) and iconography (FontAwesome). It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Drip for user tracking and marketing automation. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Hosting is likely provided by Miss Group Ltd (Hostek), consistent with the WHOIS registrar information. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization details found. No CMS like WordPress or Drupal detected, indicating a custom or builder-based site. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended.
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.
