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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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"

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

The website operates within the media sector, focusing on sports news and live event coverage. Its business model relies on advertising revenue, leveraging multiple ad networks and programmatic bidding platforms. The target audience includes Romanian sports fans and followers of international sports leagues such as NBA, Formula 1, and European football leagues. The site benefits from being part of the larger Digital Antena Group, which provides a network of related media properties and partners, enhancing content distribution and brand recognition. The presence of social media channels and video content indicates a multi-channel engagement strategy. The website's longevity and consistent content updates suggest stable operations and a solid market position in Romanian sports media.

Security posture

Antena Sport maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data in the HTML content. The use of anti-spam plugins like Akismet and consent management tools like CookiePro indicates attention to security and privacy compliance. However, explicit security policies or incident response information are not found on the site, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and ad networks, which necessitates ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Security headers are partially present or inferred but could be strengthened by adding Content-Security-Policy and other relevant headers. Overall, the site demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity suitable for a media publishing platform.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact information such as verified emails and phone numbers for better user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap 4.6 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates advanced advertising technologies including Prebid.js for header bidding and Google Publisher Tags for ad serving. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics, Firebase, and Cxense, with user tracking managed under GDPR compliance. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supported by AWS DNS servers. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and ad lazy load features implemented. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). There is some technical debt in the form of multiple third-party scripts that require maintenance and security monitoring. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for a high-traffic media site.
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.
