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

The SRT Alliance is a collaborative industry group focused on advancing the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol, an open-source technology designed to enable high-quality, low-latency video streaming over the public Internet. The alliance includes prominent technology and media companies such as Haivision, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Telestream, and Avid, positioning it as a leading entity in the video transport technology sector. Their business model centers on fostering interoperability, hosting educational webinars, and providing resources to members to accelerate SRT adoption. Technically, the website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and WPBakery Page Builder, ensuring good SEO and content management capabilities. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended best practices. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of GDPR requirements. Overall, the SRT Alliance website is professional, credible, and functional with a strong business presence and moderate technical and security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and published security policies would further strengthen their risk profile and trustworthiness.

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. 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

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 SRT Alliance occupies a strong market position as the primary open-source alliance promoting the SRT protocol, a critical technology in the video streaming and telecommunications industry. Their competitive advantage lies in their collaborative model, bringing together industry leaders to drive adoption and interoperability. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and partnerships, while their target customers are technology companies, broadcasters, and media organizations seeking low-latency video transport solutions. The alliance demonstrates growth through active content updates, webinars, and expanding membership, including high-profile companies like NVIDIA. Their partnership ecosystem is robust, with direct ties to Haivision and other technology leaders, supporting a sustainable and influential operation within the video transport technology market.

Security posture

The current security maturity of the SRT Alliance website is moderate. The use of HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA on forms are positive controls that protect data in transit and reduce spam. However, the absence of DNSSEC and HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could expose the site to DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the site would benefit from enhanced security hardening and formalized incident response procedures to align with best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and third-party scripts to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including PHP, jQuery, and various plugins for SEO, page building, and user interaction. Hosting is managed through GoDaddy with DNS services via Dynect. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security configurations and accessibility features. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and JSON-LD structured data for SEO enhancement. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but can be improved in security and accessibility domains.
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.
