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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The podcast occupies a niche market within the religious and community media sector in Eastern Switzerland. Its competitive advantage lies in its authentic storytelling approach and backing by established church organizations, which enhances trust and audience reach. Revenue streams are likely limited to sponsorships or church funding rather than commercial advertising. The target customers are local residents interested in faith, culture, and personal stories. The presence on multiple social media platforms and integration with Spotify and YouTube indicates a strategic approach to audience engagement and growth. The partnership ecosystem includes regional church websites and social media channels, reinforcing its community-oriented positioning.
Security posture
The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant plugin, ensuring user privacy and regulatory adherence. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page suggests room for improvement in formalizing security governance and communication. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and providing clear security contact channels to enhance transparency and readiness.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for security and performance.
Consider adding more detailed data retention policies and transparency around analytics data.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS using modern Gutenberg blocks and React for interactive components. It leverages standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Performance is moderate with caching and optimization plugins evident. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The site integrates external services such as Spotify for podcast embedding and social media feeds from Instagram. Security is enhanced by HTTPS and reCAPTCHA. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the infrastructure appears stable. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security 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.
