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

SMARTSTREAM.TV GmbH is a well-established digital video advertising company operating primarily in the DACH region. Founded in 2012 and part of the ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE group, it offers a comprehensive portfolio of branding, engagement, and reach advertising solutions, supported by creative and research services. The company targets advertisers seeking innovative upper funnel advertising strategies leveraging video across multiple digital platforms. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers in place, though some privacy compliance aspects like cookie consent could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the corporate affiliation and professional web 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

5 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 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
    • 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
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: exchange.smartstream.tv

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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 holds a strong market position as a digital video marketer in the DACH region, leveraging its affiliation with ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE to enhance credibility and reach. Its business model focuses on delivering video advertising solutions that maximize brand visibility and engagement through innovative ad formats and data-driven insights. The presence of multiple offices across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland indicates a medium-sized enterprise with regional coverage. The company emphasizes technological innovation and complex targeting capabilities, positioning itself as a premium service provider in the digital advertising space. Growth indicators include a diverse product portfolio and active content marketing via blogs and creative portfolios.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of secure contact methods (mailto and tel links) without visible form inputs reduces attack surface. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is mostly addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing incident response and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update WHOIS information to maintain transparency and domain legitimacy.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in accessible formats.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, providing server-side rendering and optimized performance. The use of SVG graphics and responsive design ensures excellent mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The CMS appears to be a headless system, likely Strapi, enabling flexible content management. Performance is fast with preloading of key assets and asynchronous script loading. No technical debt or legacy technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance mechanisms and to formalize security documentation.
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.
