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

6 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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

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 as a key regional news source with a business model based on advertising and subscriptions. Its affiliation with IPPEN.MEDIA provides competitive advantages in content sourcing and technology. The target audience is local residents and German-speaking users interested in regional news. The presence of partner domains like wa-mediengruppe.de and epaper.wa.de indicates a broader media network. The site’s content and navigation structure support user engagement and retention, with moderate use of marketing and tracking tools balanced by GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a published security.txt file. Security headers such as CSP and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present, which could be improved to mitigate risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses third-party tracking and advertising scripts responsibly with user consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media website but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  2. Add and enforce comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modular JavaScript architecture with RequireJS and integrates multiple third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Braze for marketing automation, and Adnami for advertising. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The CMS appears to be proprietary or custom-built by IPPEN.MEDIA, supporting complex content management and regional news delivery. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by adopting modern security headers and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
