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

VFS Films is a Latvian film production company specializing in award-winning documentaries, fiction, and animation with over 25 years of experience. The website showcases a comprehensive portfolio of films, including upcoming projects and VOD availability, targeting film enthusiasts and industry professionals. The company maintains an active social media presence across major platforms such as IMDb, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, and Instagram, enhancing its outreach and audience engagement. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with a clean design and clear navigation structure. Security is well addressed with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers, though privacy and cookie policies are notably absent, indicating room for compliance improvement. The security posture is strong in terms of transport security and header implementation, but lacks explicit incident response and data protection disclosures. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and business information suggest a credible and established entity. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and transparency measures.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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

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

VFS Films operates within the media sector, focusing on creative film production and distribution. Its market position is that of a niche, award-winning small company with a strong portfolio of documentaries, fiction, and animation films. The business model revolves around content creation and VOD distribution, targeting cultural audiences and film industry stakeholders. The company leverages partnerships with major video platforms and maintains a consistent brand identity. Growth indicators include recent and upcoming film projects and active social media engagement. The lack of detailed corporate data and WHOIS information limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and comprehensive security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. There is no evidence of a dedicated security framework or certifications. The site would benefit from implementing GDPR-compliant privacy notices, cookie consent mechanisms, and clear security incident contacts to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy page with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add a cookie policy and consent banner to inform users and obtain consent.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, utilizing modern web standards including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring reliable delivery and moderate performance. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided content, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical infrastructure is sound but could be improved by adding analytics for business insights and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
