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.

Critical
EU business without adequate privacy measures
EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

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
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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates as a public media entity with a focus on delivering timely news and information via multiple channels including web radio, podcasts, and events. It leverages partnerships with national and regional broadcasters and platforms such as ARD Audiothek and Tagesschau. The business model is likely funded through public broadcasting mechanisms and advertising, targeting a broad demographic in Hessen. The website's ecosystem includes related domains and partner sites that enhance content reach and credibility.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and some security headers present. However, the Content-Security-Policy is limited to image sources and could be expanded. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of modern JavaScript frameworks with polyfills indicates attention to compatibility and security. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies in the analyzed content.
Recommendations
Implement a comprehensive privacy policy page and link it clearly in the footer or header.
Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
Enhance security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.
Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern tech stack including Alpine.js, Modernizr, and Piano Analytics for tracking. It is built on a proprietary CMS (hrcms-delivery 4.26.0) and hosted on servers indicated by the nameservers sec-provider.de. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preloading of critical assets and use of polyfills for legacy browser support. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. There is room for improvement in security header implementation and privacy 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.
