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

4 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 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Vimeo operates in the technology and media sectors, providing video streaming and hosting solutions with a subscription and service-based business model. The company targets a diverse customer base from individual creators to large enterprises. Vimeo's competitive advantages include a strong brand, extensive feature set (video player, live streaming, analytics, collaboration), and integration capabilities. The company is part of IAC, a large parent organization, which supports its enterprise scale and market reach. Vimeo's ecosystem includes partnerships and developer resources, enhancing its platform extensibility. Growth indicators include continuous product releases and a comprehensive resource and learning center. Vimeo's strategic focus on video monetization and OTT services positions it well in the evolving digital media landscape.

Security posture

Vimeo exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, domain status protections, and published security and privacy policies. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The site uses consent management and experimentation platforms responsibly. However, the lack of a publicly available vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file and explicit incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, Vimeo's security practices align with enterprise expectations, supporting trust and compliance with regulations such as GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact channels on the website for security issues.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications to enhance trust.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Next.js and React, hosted on AWS infrastructure. It leverages third-party services for experimentation (Eppo), consent management (Transcend), and UI widgets (Elfsight). The site demonstrates fast performance, mobile optimization, and good accessibility standards. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of Builder.io suggests a headless CMS approach for content management. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible outdated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to further modernize DNS security and enhance transparency around security practices.
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.
