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

SteamTV is a streaming platform operated under the Steam ecosystem, primarily focused on broadcasting live esports content such as Counter-Strike 2 tournaments. The platform targets gamers and esports enthusiasts, leveraging Valve's strong brand presence and the large Steam user base. The business model centers on free-to-play streaming integrated with game promotion and community engagement. The website is well-branded and consistent with Valve's identity, indicating a strong market position within the gaming and esports industry. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries and SVG graphics, served via Akamai CDN for performance and reliability. The platform supports Windows and Linux/SteamOS users, with good mobile optimization and fast loading times. However, accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, and no CMS or frameworks are explicitly detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers such as CSP or HSTS. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact or incident response information is provided, which limits compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is legitimate and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security header implementation, and visible contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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
  2. 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

  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 niche streaming service within the gaming and esports sector, leveraging Valve's ecosystem to deliver live content and promote its flagship game Counter-Strike 2. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its integration with Steam and Valve's brand recognition. Revenue streams likely include game sales driven by promotional content and potential advertising or sponsorships within esports events. The target audience is primarily gamers and esports fans globally. The absence of direct contact information and policies suggests a focus on seamless user experience over direct customer engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes Akamai for CDN services and Valve's various domains for community and store integration.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate to good, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces defense-in-depth. Lack of published privacy and cookie policies and incident response contacts indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No forms or inputs are present that collect user data directly on this page, reducing attack surface. The platform would benefit from implementing security best practices such as CSP, HSTS, and publishing a security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  4. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels, including security and abuse emails, to improve transparency and compliance.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with Valve's proprietary WebUI libraries and SVG graphics for branding. Content is delivered via Akamai CDN, ensuring fast and reliable performance globally. The site is mobile optimized and supports multiple languages, indicating good internationalization efforts. No CMS or third-party frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. The absence of explicit SEO meta tags and accessibility features indicates room for improvement in these areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO optimizations.
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.
