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

3 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. 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

VideoHive operates as a major player in the digital creative assets market, leveraging Envato's extensive ecosystem to provide a wide range of stock video and motion graphics products. Its business model is based on an online marketplace facilitating transactions between content creators and buyers worldwide. The platform targets creative professionals, video producers, and businesses requiring visual content, offering competitive pricing starting from $1. Strategic partnerships with Envato Elements, Tuts+, and Placeit expand its service offerings and customer engagement. The company's long domain age and consistent branding reinforce its market credibility and growth potential.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, use of CSRF tokens, and integration of Cookiebot for managing user consent in compliance with GDPR. Monitoring tools like Datadog and Rollbar provide real-time error tracking and performance insights, enhancing operational security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and unclear presence of some security headers suggest areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Incident response and explicit security policies are not publicly detailed, indicating potential gaps in transparency. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and explicit security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user privacy controls by providing more granular cookie management options and clear data retention disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, custom technology stack leveraging JavaScript, Turbo (Hotwire), and Ruby on Rails conventions. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, ensuring fast content delivery and resilience. Performance is optimized with preloading of critical assets and responsive design for mobile devices. Analytics and monitoring are robust, utilizing Google Analytics, Datadog, and Rollbar. The site employs Cookiebot for consent management, reflecting a mature approach to privacy compliance. Technical debt appears minimal, with opportunities for further modernization including enhanced DNS security and comprehensive security header deployment.
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.
