Security score

Risk levelLow

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

Viaplay Group is a leading Nordic entertainment provider offering streaming services, TV channels, and radio stations across multiple countries. The company targets a broad audience with a focus on live sports, films, series, and music content. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with a professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive corporate information including investor relations and sustainability efforts. Technically, the site uses Drupal CMS and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not evident. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly, but the overall business credibility remains high due to transparent corporate disclosures and Nasdaq listing. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response details, and improving contact information visibility.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

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

Viaplay Group operates primarily in the media sector, focusing on subscription-based streaming and content distribution in the Nordic region and select European markets. The company leverages a multi-platform approach including streaming, TV, and radio, supported by a strong brand and investor transparency. Its business model is subscription-driven with additional revenue from content licensing. The company is publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, indicating regulatory compliance and financial transparency. Partnerships and career portals indicate a growing ecosystem. The company’s sustainability focus aligns with modern corporate governance trends, enhancing its market position and stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which are important for security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance visibility of contact information, especially for security and data protection inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Maintain updated WHOIS information or use verified domain registration to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Carousel and Select2 for UI enhancements. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with proper meta tags and SEO considerations. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDNs for common libraries. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence, though hosting provider details are not explicit. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and further optimize performance.
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.
