Snack Media Ltd is a UK-based digital sports network and content marketing company founded in 2007. It specializes in monetizing sports and entertainment content for premium publishers and rights holders globally. The company offers end-to-end services including proprietary adtech solutions, inventory monetization, and sponsorship activation, positioning itself as a trusted partner in the media and advertising industry. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding, comprehensive privacy policies, and a strong partner ecosystem. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern marketing and analytics integrations such as HubSpot, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight. Security posture is good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though some security headers could be improved.

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. 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Snack Media operates in the media sector focusing on digital sports content monetization. Its business model revolves around providing publishers and advertisers with advanced adtech and monetization services beyond programmatic advertising. The company has a medium-sized footprint with a global partner network including major brands like Nike, Samsung, and the Premier League. Revenue streams likely include advertising commissions, technology licensing, and bespoke marketing services. The company targets premium publishers and advertisers in sports and entertainment, leveraging proprietary technology and a strong brand reputation. Growth indicators include continuous innovation since 2007 and a broad partner ecosystem. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining domain legitimacy and enhancing security policies to support business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms. Marketing and analytics scripts are integrated with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Verify and publish domain WHOIS information or ensure privacy protection is justified and transparent to improve trustworthiness.
  3. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to demonstrate security maturity.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly to reduce risk exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder, integrating multiple marketing and analytics technologies such as HubSpot, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and Twitter Universal Tag. The site uses reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection and employs a CDN for content delivery. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern and supports the business model effectively, though some technical debt may exist in the form of missing security headers and potential plugin updates. Hosting provider details are not explicit but content is served via cdn.snack-media.com, indicating use of a CDN or managed hosting.
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.
