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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Business profile

Vidispine operates in the media technology industry, offering a portfolio of solutions that address media asset management, broadcast management, and content monetization. Their business model is B2B, focusing on software and service delivery to media companies and broadcasters. The presence of customer logos from reputable organizations and participation in industry events like CABSAT indicate active market engagement and growth orientation.

Security posture

Vidispine's website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to protect forms from automated abuse, and integration of privacy and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response information is a minor gap but does not detract significantly from the overall security maturity. No signs of exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or security misconfigurations were found. The use of HubSpot CMS provides a secure hosting environment with standard security headers likely in place. Overall, the security posture is strong with room for improvement in transparency and formal documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add an incident response page or contact channel for reporting security issues.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Analytics 4 for user behavior tracking and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form security. The site uses the Plyr video player for media content, enhancing user engagement. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of CSS and JavaScript assets, and images are optimized with responsive srcset attributes. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. The technical infrastructure is robust, leveraging HubSpot's EU data center for hosting, ensuring compliance with regional data protection laws. Opportunities exist to enhance security header visibility and publish more detailed technical and security documentation.
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.
