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 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

    • 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

The Chosen holds a unique market position as the first-ever multi-season TV show about Jesus, supported by a non-profit foundation. Its business model combines free content distribution via apps and streaming platforms with revenue from merchandise sales and donations. The target market is primarily Christian viewers and faith-based communities worldwide. The organization benefits from multiple awards and a large fan base, enhancing its competitive advantage. Partnerships with major app stores and streaming services expand its reach. The presence of investor relations and press center links indicates a structured approach to growth and transparency. The company’s ecosystem includes related domains for streaming, merchandise, and foundation activities, reinforcing its operational scope and brand consistency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of multiple third-party scripts and ad networks is managed without apparent vulnerabilities, but continuous monitoring is recommended. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is a gap that could affect trust and compliance. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting data protection best practices. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the analysis. The security score is high, reflecting good practices but with opportunities for enhanced transparency and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact or abuse email for security issues.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and ad networks to mitigate potential risks.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering, ensuring fast load times and SEO friendliness. Hosting appears to leverage AWS infrastructure, particularly S3 for media assets, supporting scalability and reliability. The integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Mobile optimization is excellent, with responsive images and layouts. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The site uses a headless or hybrid WordPress CMS for content management, balancing flexibility and ease of use. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with room for continuous modernization and security hardening.
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.
