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

    • 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

  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"

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

DASDING operates as a public media entity focusing on youth-oriented radio and digital content in southwestern Germany. Its business model centers on public broadcasting with digital extensions, including live streaming and podcasts. The station leverages partnerships within the Südwestrundfunk network and maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. The content strategy emphasizes music discovery, event promotion, and community interaction. The website's technical infrastructure supports multimedia delivery and user engagement, though there is room for improvement in privacy and security transparency. DASDING's market position is strong regionally, benefiting from public funding and brand recognition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and no apparent exposure of sensitive information. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces potential privacy risks, mitigated partially by the lack of aggressive tracking. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. Enhancing security headers and publishing security policies would strengthen the site's security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for privacy and security risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing contact information for data protection officers or security teams.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including SVG icons and responsive design techniques. Audio streaming is supported via HLS, MP3, and AAC formats, ensuring broad compatibility. Analytics are implemented using Chartbeat and Piano, with preconnect hints to optimize performance. The site loads CSS asynchronously to improve rendering speed. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, indicating good accessibility practices. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were detected. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience with opportunities for further modernization.
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.
