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

Ebiquity Transmit is a media intelligence platform offering curated news, expert opinions, financial data, and research reports focused on the media industry. The platform targets media professionals, advertisers, and analysts by providing categorized and metadata-enriched content to facilitate informed decision-making. The website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Fonts, and integrates analytics and dynamic filtering tools to enhance user experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and visible privacy policies. The absence of public WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, common for such business types. Overall, the platform presents a professional and trustworthy front but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security practices.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Ebiquity operates in the media sector, providing specialized intelligence services that aggregate and analyze media industry news and data. Its business model likely revolves around subscription or access-based services for industry professionals. The platform's market position is that of a niche provider with proprietary metadata and expert insights, differentiating it from generic news aggregators. The company leverages partnerships with reputable news sources and integrates advanced filtering and search capabilities to serve its target audience effectively. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and integration of AI-related news, reflecting responsiveness to industry trends.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and anonymizes IP addresses in Google Analytics, indicating baseline security awareness. However, the lack of visible security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies highlight compliance gaps. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and resolution. The use of third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency and technical safeguards to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide visible contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging Google Fonts for typography and integrating Jetboost for dynamic filtering and search functionalities. Analytics are handled via Google Tag Manager and Plausible Analytics, with IP anonymization enabled. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing. The technical stack is modern and suitable for the platform's content delivery needs but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
