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

The website www.ffn-history.de serves as a historical timeline archive commemorating 38 years of radio ffn, a German radio broadcasting station. It targets German-speaking listeners and fans interested in the station's history and moderators. The site is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs modern web technologies including Turbo Frames and SVG icons, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. The content is professionally presented and consistent with the brand identity of radio ffn. From a technical perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a Content-Security-Policy header to upgrade insecure requests, ensuring a secure browsing environment. However, additional security headers could be implemented to enhance protection. The site includes tracking scripts from script.ioam.de, indicating moderate user tracking without explicit cookie consent mechanisms, which may affect GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's business history and domain age, supporting the legitimacy of the site. Contact information is limited to an email address in the footer, with no phone numbers or physical addresses provided. No forms or incident response contacts are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security policy pages are evident. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy, with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security header implementation. Strategic recommendations include adding cookie consent, enhancing security headers, and providing clearer security and incident response information.

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

8 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Radio ffn is an established regional media broadcaster in Germany with a strong brand presence. The website serves as a digital archive and engagement platform for its audience, focusing on historical content and moderator information. The business model revolves around media broadcasting and digital content delivery. The company leverages social media channels to maintain audience engagement. The site reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a clear target audience. There is no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies from the provided data. The business benefits from a loyal listener base and a well-maintained digital presence, though it could enhance its digital maturity by improving privacy and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header in place. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces moderate privacy risks. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and clearer incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add additional security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security posture.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  4. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses modern web technologies such as Turbo Frames for dynamic content loading and SVG for scalable icons, contributing to a responsive and visually appealing design. The site is mobile optimized and includes proper meta tags for SEO. Performance is moderate, with some dynamic content loaded via API endpoints. The technical implementation is solid, though there is room for improvement in accessibility features and security header coverage. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the domain uses multiple name servers under everscale-dns, indicating a stable DNS setup.
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.
