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

Viber Media S.à r.l. operates the Viber platform, a globally recognized messaging and VoIP service owned by Rakuten. The website presents a professional, well-branded digital presence offering free and secure calls, messaging, and multimedia sharing across mobile and desktop platforms. The business model is freemium, targeting general consumers seeking communication tools with privacy and security features. The site is optimized for mobile and desktop users with clear navigation and comprehensive content about features, security, and business offerings. Technically, the website leverages WordPress CMS with modern analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Google Tag Manager. It employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR and uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. The site demonstrates good performance and accessibility standards, though explicit security headers could be more visible. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, privacy policies, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but is likely due to privacy protection or registry policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained. Strategic recommendations include enhancing visible security headers, improving incident response contact visibility, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to ensure ongoing security and compliance.

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

2 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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Viber holds a strong market position as a major global communication platform under Rakuten. Its competitive advantages include a broad feature set (voice/video calls, group chats, stickers), cross-device synchronization, and a strong privacy focus. Revenue streams likely include premium services such as Viber Out and business solutions. The target customer segment is broad, encompassing general consumers worldwide. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple Rakuten subsidiaries and partners, enhancing brand trust and reach. Growth indicators include continuous feature updates and active marketing. The company operates in the telecommunications sector with a large organizational size.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Security best practices such as stop-user-enumeration scripts are implemented. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly visible in the HTML source, representing an area for improvement. Incident response contact information is not prominently displayed, which could be enhanced for better security culture and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from increased transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly declare security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving privacy regulations.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy including continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, and user education.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.6.0, Font Awesome, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Google Tag Manager. It uses OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy laws. Performance is moderate with multimedia content and video integration. Mobile optimization is excellent with responsive design and device-specific download links. SEO is well implemented using Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and user-friendly experience.
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.
