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 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

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 company holds a solid position as a regional media broadcaster in the Augsburg and Schwaben area, serving a medium-sized audience with local news, events, and entertainment. Their competitive advantage lies in localized content and multi-platform delivery including live streaming and on-demand videos. Revenue likely derives from regional advertising and partnerships, as indicated by ad network usage and external partner links. The target customer segment includes local residents and German-speaking viewers interested in regional affairs. The company maintains partnerships with local media groups and job portals, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include regular content updates and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on digital media delivery and privacy compliance to maintain audience trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of privacy consent management tools. Security headers are partially implemented but could be enhanced with HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options for improved protection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks publicly disclosed incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies, which could be improved to enhance security transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good for a regional media site, with recommendations to strengthen headers and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to mitigate clickjacking and MIME sniffing risks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated security policy page with incident response contacts.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and video player libraries for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern frontend using Vue.js components and Video.js for video playback. It integrates HLS streaming for live and on-demand video content. The site uses Matomo for analytics and a privacy service from mgpd.de for consent management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is well chosen for a media broadcaster, though hosting provider details are not explicit. The site could benefit from further performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
