Risk levelLow

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

Super Channel is a Canadian-owned and operated streaming service specializing in ad-free access to hit movies, exclusive series, and original documentaries with a strong emphasis on Canadian content. The platform offers multiple themed channels and on-demand streaming, targeting Canadian audiences interested in diverse entertainment options. The website is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, leveraging Drupal 7 CMS and modern JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience. However, the CMS version is somewhat dated, which may pose future technical debt risks. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies and extensive use of third-party tracking pixels, indicating a need for improved transparency and user consent mechanisms. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, supporting the legitimacy of the business.

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

3 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

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

Super Channel operates in the Canadian media streaming sector, focusing on exclusive and Canadian content to differentiate itself from global competitors. Its subscription-based model and multiple channel offerings cater to niche audiences, providing a competitive advantage in the Canadian market. The company benefits from a long-established domain and reputable registrar, indicating stable operations. The extensive use of third-party advertising and analytics tools suggests active marketing efforts to grow its subscriber base. However, the absence of clear privacy and security policies may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified in the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of explicit incident response or security contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. The extensive use of tracking pixels without clear consent mechanisms raises privacy concerns and potential compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security posture.
  4. Publish clear security incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Upgrade CMS from Drupal 7 to a supported version to reduce technical debt and security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, supplemented with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, Splide.js, and Algolia for search functionality. The site uses Font Awesome for icons and integrates multiple third-party analytics and advertising scripts including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Bing Ads. The hosting and DNS are managed via Go Daddy and domaincontrol.com respectively. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO meta tags present. However, the use of an older CMS version and lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicate areas for modernization and security enhancement. The site architecture supports a rich media streaming experience with dynamic content sliders and search autocomplete features.
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.
