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

SteamTV is a digital streaming platform focused on broadcasting esports events, particularly for the game CS:GO, integrated within the Steam ecosystem. Operated under Valve Corporation, it leverages Akamai CDN for content delivery and provides community interaction features such as chat. The platform targets gamers and esports enthusiasts, offering live event streaming and integration with Steam user accounts. The website content is minimal, primarily embedding login and chat functionality, with limited visible business or policy information. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, served via Akamai CDN ensuring fast performance and global availability. The platform is optimized for Windows and web browsers with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility. However, SEO and content richness are limited due to minimal visible content and metadata. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and domain registration includes protective domain status flags. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and visible security or privacy policies, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies impacts compliance posture. Overall, SteamTV presents a moderately trustworthy and technically sound platform for esports streaming but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy, security policies, and user communication to improve compliance and user trust.

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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
  3. 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

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

SteamTV operates as a specialized streaming service within the gaming and esports media sector, leveraging Valve Corporation's established Steam platform. Its market positioning is strong due to Valve's brand and integration with Steam's large user base. The business model focuses on digital content delivery and community engagement rather than direct monetization on this site. Revenue streams likely derive from Valve's broader ecosystem including game sales and advertising. The target audience includes esports fans and gamers globally. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes Akamai for CDN services and Steam community services. Growth indicators include domain age consistent with service launch and ongoing integration with Steam services. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand content richness and compliance transparency to enhance market competitiveness.

Security posture

The current security posture of SteamTV is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes strong domain status locks preventing unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, limiting transparency. Privacy and cookie policies are not visible, impacting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The platform would benefit from implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC to strengthen its security maturity and compliance readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve browser security.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and security culture.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, served via Akamai CDN ensuring fast and reliable content delivery. The platform is optimized primarily for Windows and web browsers with basic mobile responsiveness. The site structure is minimal, embedding Steam login and chat iframes, which limits content richness and SEO effectiveness. No CMS or frameworks were detected, indicating a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is fast due to CDN usage and minimal content. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could expose the site to DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. Modernization opportunities include enhancing SEO metadata, accessibility, and publishing security and privacy 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.
