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

The website www.freenet.tv presents itself as a German-language digital TV service provider offering activation and access to freenet TV, which provides top television programs in Full-HD quality. The business model appears to be subscription-based, targeting German-speaking TV viewers interested in digital terrestrial television. The website uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, Font Awesome icons, PayPal SDK for payment processing, and Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. However, the presence of Cloudflare's WAF and Turnstile challenge indicates that the site content is partially blocked or protected, limiting full content accessibility and analysis. Security headers and privacy policies are not visible in the provided content, and no explicit contact information is found, which impacts trust and compliance assessments. Overall, the site appears moderately professional but lacks visible compliance and security transparency.

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.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Freenet TV operates in the media sector, focusing on digital TV services in Germany. The company targets consumers seeking high-quality Full-HD television programming via digital terrestrial broadcast. The business likely generates revenue through subscriptions and possibly device activations. The website integrates PayPal for payments, indicating an e-commerce component. The lack of visible detailed business information, certifications, or contact details limits the ability to fully assess market positioning or partnerships. The use of Cloudflare suggests a focus on security and availability, though it also restricts content access for analysis.

Security posture

The website employs Cloudflare's Turnstile CAPTCHA, indicating an active Web Application Firewall (WAF) to mitigate automated threats. However, no explicit security headers or advanced security practices are evident in the provided data. The absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information for incident response, suggests gaps in compliance and security transparency. The use of third-party scripts like PayPal SDK and Font Awesome requires regular security audits to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is basic with room for improvement in policy visibility and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add clear and accessible contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  3. Ensure robust SSL/TLS configuration and implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider reducing WAF challenge strictness for better user experience and analysis accessibility while maintaining security.
Site observations

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with integration of Font Awesome for icons and PayPal SDK for payment processing. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security services including Turnstile CAPTCHA. The site is responsive to viewport settings but shows only basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags. The site lacks visible CMS indicators and appears custom-built or uses proprietary solutions. Performance is moderate, but the WAF challenge may impact user experience and automated access.
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.
