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

7 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

  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 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention hr-sinfonieorchester.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for hr-sinfonieorchester.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website reflects a well-established media entity with strong branding consistency and integration into the Hessischer Rundfunk ecosystem. It leverages partnerships with major media platforms like ARD Mediathek and YouTube for content distribution. The business model is supported by ticket sales, subscriptions, and educational outreach, indicating diversified revenue streams and audience engagement strategies. The presence of multiple related HR domains suggests a broad media network.

Security posture

The site employs HTTPS with a solid SSL configuration and a Content-Security-Policy header, indicating good baseline security practices. Use of modern JavaScript frameworks and polyfills ensures compatibility and performance. However, the CSP could be further tightened, and the absence of a security.txt or explicit incident response contact reduces transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  3. Strengthen the Content-Security-Policy to restrict script and style sources more tightly.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and security incidents.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Alpine.js, Modernizr, and Material Design Lite, supported by a custom CMS (hrcms-delivery 4.26.0). It is hosted on servers indicated by sec-provider.de nameservers, likely a professional hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with preloading of critical assets and deferred script loading. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. There is room for improvement in privacy and security policy disclosures.
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.
