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

Backstage.li is a youth-oriented media platform based in Liechtenstein, providing event listings, blog articles, podcasts, and community engagement content targeted at children and young people. The website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Slick Slider, and analytics tools such as Microsoft Clarity and Plausible Analytics. The platform demonstrates a good level of digital maturity with a professional design, mobile optimization, and structured data implementation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present, though the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies indicates room for improvement in compliance. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned within its niche, but should enhance privacy transparency and incident response readiness to strengthen user trust and regulatory compliance.

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. 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';…

  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

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 serves a niche market of young people in Liechtenstein, focusing on community events, educational content, and youth engagement. Its business model revolves around content provision and community building rather than direct commerce. The platform's consistent branding and active content updates suggest a stable operation with potential for growth in local youth media. The use of professional plugins and analytics indicates an investment in user experience and data-driven insights. However, the lack of explicit business contact information and formal policies may limit broader commercial partnerships or trust signals.

Security posture

Backstage.li maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS and multiple security headers implemented. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests limited transparency in security governance. The site should consider publishing these documents and implementing cookie consent mechanisms to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins are recommended to mitigate potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to enhance transparency and user trust.
  3. Implement and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and update plugins to reduce vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Slick Slider, and Ajax Search Lite. It uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and integrates analytics tools like Microsoft Clarity and Plausible Analytics. The site loads resources from reputable CDNs and Google Fonts, indicating good performance practices. Mobile optimization is good, and the design is professional and consistent. However, there is no explicit hosting provider information. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance optimizations, as well as improved privacy 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.
