Bloomberg Radio · Media · United States

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

Bloomberg Radio operates as the world's only global 24-hour business radio station, delivering comprehensive financial market news and analysis powered by a large network of journalists and analysts worldwide. The website reflects a strong brand presence consistent with Bloomberg's corporate identity, offering live streaming, show schedules, and rich multimedia content. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, and Tag Manager integrations, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and SEO best practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the brand and content quality. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to improve trust and 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

2 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.

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Bloomberg Radio holds a leading position in the global business media sector, leveraging Bloomberg L.P.'s extensive resources and reputation. Its business model centers on content broadcasting via radio, satellite, and digital platforms, targeting business professionals and investors. The site links to multiple Bloomberg services and products, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. The company's large size and global reach are evident, with a focus on delivering timely financial news and market insights. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and continuous content updates. The website's professional design and structured data usage support strong market positioning and user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, asynchronous loading of analytics scripts, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not provide explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security practices are good but could benefit from formal documentation and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and Vimeo for video playback. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and analytics. The site uses responsive design techniques and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading but could be optimized further. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card integration. Accessibility is basic but functional.
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.
