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

Radio BIR is a Bosnian Islamic community radio broadcaster offering a diverse range of religious, educational, informational, political, youth, and musical programming. It serves a Bosnian-speaking Muslim audience across multiple regional FM frequencies, positioning itself as a key media outlet within the Islamic community in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The website is built on Joomla CMS and employs common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and provides clear navigation and relevant content for its target audience. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is used, but security headers and privacy policies are lacking, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website's claims, supporting its legitimacy.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  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 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

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 organization operates as a non-profit media entity focused on Islamic religious broadcasting. Its market position is strengthened by multiple FM frequencies covering key Bosnian cities and a clear editorial team presence. The business model centers on community engagement and religious education rather than commercial advertising, with a partner marketing subdomain indicating some marketing activities. The target audience includes the Bosnian Muslim community and general listeners interested in Islamic content. The website's content quality and branding are consistent, supporting trust and credibility. Social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube extend its reach and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which may expose the organization to compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Establish and publish vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities or outdated libraries.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS, leveraging a range of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, and MooTools. The use of modern fonts from Google Fonts and icon sets like Font Awesome and Simple Line Icons contribute to a visually consistent design. The site is responsive with dedicated CSS for various screen sizes, indicating good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques detected. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and semantic HTML but no advanced accessibility features. SEO is basic, with meta tags for description and keywords but no structured data like JSON-LD detected. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
