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

5 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 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

      • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Vidyard operates a SaaS business model focused on video tools for virtual sales and marketing teams. Their competitive advantage lies in AI-powered video messaging and extensive buyer engagement solutions. The company targets business professionals and sales teams, leveraging partnerships with marketing automation and analytics providers such as Marketo and Clearbit. The website's content and structured data confirm a medium-sized enterprise founded in 2010, with a consistent brand presence across multiple social media platforms. Vidyard's ecosystem includes integrations with major ad networks and tracking services, supporting a sophisticated marketing strategy. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation. The company maintains a high level of content quality and branding consistency, reinforcing its market credibility.

Security posture

Vidyard's website security posture is strong, featuring HTTPS encryption, comprehensive security headers, and secure cookie practices. The use of multiple analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with consent mechanisms and cookie policies, indicating attention to privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. The site does not show signs of WAF blocking or security challenges, allowing full content access. Overall, Vidyard demonstrates a mature security posture appropriate for its business scale, with recommendations to enhance public security documentation and incident contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and disclose a formal vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security risks.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern JavaScript-heavy front end, including jQuery 3.6.1 and various marketing and analytics SDKs such as Google Analytics, Heap, Datadog RUM, and Facebook Pixel. It uses Google Tag Manager for tag management and Marketo for marketing automation. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with preloaded fonts and critical CSS. Hosting appears to leverage CDN and cloud services for fast delivery. Accessibility and SEO best practices are observed, including meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and structured JSON-LD data for rich search results. The technical infrastructure supports a scalable and secure user experience, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to mitigate potential risks.
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.
