Positioned as a niche broadcaster under Media One Group, it targets Swiss viewers interested in character-based TV content. The website employs modern web technologies including Nuxt.js and Vue.js, integrates advertising via Smart AdServer, and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics. Cookie consent is managed through Axept.io, reflecting some privacy compliance efforts.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

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

Carac Media SA is a small Swiss media company focused on digital broadcasting and content streaming. Its business model relies on advertising revenue and content delivery to a French-speaking Swiss audience. The company maintains active social media channels on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn, enhancing brand visibility. The website's technical infrastructure is modern and supports mobile responsiveness. However, the lack of published privacy and terms documents may pose compliance risks. The company appears stable with consistent WHOIS data and a clear market niche, but should consider expanding transparency and security policies to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of asynchronous loading for scripts and integration of cookie consent mechanisms are positive indicators. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limit the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and incident response procedures to enhance resilience and compliance, especially under GDPR and related regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and document a security policy including incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks for security and privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear data retention policies to align with GDPR.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack (Nuxt.js and Vue.js), enabling a responsive and dynamic user experience. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and Smart AdServer for advertising, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. The site loads multiple CSS and JS modules asynchronously, improving performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and preloading strategies. However, no CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized compliance 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.
