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

3 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Hessischer Rundfunk positions hr1 as a key regional radio brand with a focus on music from the 80s and informative content with conversational value. The site integrates multiple media formats and partners with other news outlets like hessenschau.de and tagesschau.de, enhancing its content ecosystem. The business benefits from public funding and a strong regional presence, with a clear target audience in Hessen. The partnership ecosystem includes other HR brands and external news providers, supporting a comprehensive media offering.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a solid SSL configuration and includes a Content-Security-Policy header, indicating a good baseline security posture. Modern JavaScript libraries and polyfills are used to support legacy browsers securely. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, security, and incident response policies suggests gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers and published policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with EU regulations.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance Content-Security-Policy to restrict scripts and styles more tightly for improved security.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a modern tech stack including Alpine.js, Modernizr, and Piano Analytics for tracking. It is built on the hrcms-delivery CMS platform version 4.26.0, indicating a custom or specialized CMS for broadcasting media. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with preloading of critical assets and deferred script loading. Hosting is managed via sec-provider.de nameservers, consistent with a professional hosting environment. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance to reduce technical debt and enhance user trust.
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.
