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

AnOther Magazine is a well-established digital media outlet specializing in high fashion, art, and culture. The website presents a professional and visually appealing platform targeting fashion and culture enthusiasts with editorial content, photography, and features. The business model revolves around digital publishing, advertising, and magazine sales through partner sites. Technically, the site employs a modern tech stack with multiple analytics and advertising integrations, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent management, though explicit privacy and terms policies are not detected, and security headers are missing. The absence of WHOIS data raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the overall site professionalism and branding consistency support legitimacy. Extensive user tracking is present, necessitating improved privacy disclosures. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear privacy and terms policies, enhancing security headers, and providing explicit contact information for security and privacy matters.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

AnOther Magazine holds a strong market position in the fashion and culture media sector, leveraging high-quality editorial content and a broad social media presence. The company benefits from partnerships with related media sites such as Dazed Digital and Another Man, expanding its reach. Revenue streams likely include advertising, sponsored content, and magazine sales via external platforms. The target audience is affluent, culturally engaged readers interested in fashion, art, and lifestyle. Growth indicators include active content updates and multimedia integration. The partnership ecosystem is robust, but the lack of visible company registration and contact details may limit trust from some stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a consent management platform indicating GDPR awareness. However, the lack of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps in best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The extensive use of third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries to improve trust and incident response.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize privacy risks and potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR and other privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy infrastructure with integrations including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, TikTok Pixel, Facebook Pixel, Quantcast, Crazy Egg, and Chartbeat for analytics and marketing. Advertising is managed via Google Ad Manager and InMobi CMP for consent. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and preconnect/dns-prefetch hints for performance. However, no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. The absence of security headers and explicit privacy documentation indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media presence but requires enhancements for security and privacy maturity.
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.
