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

Integral is a music services division under the PIAS group, offering comprehensive global distribution, sales, promotion, sync licensing, and production services to independent record labels, managers, and artists. With over 30 years of experience, Integral positions itself as a trusted partner in the music industry, leveraging local expertise combined with global scale to deliver value to its partners. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with its market positioning. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a custom theme, utilizing modern web technologies such as CSS3 and JavaScript. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, some technical improvements could be made, such as implementing security headers and enhancing accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration, ensuring secure communication. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic best practices including HTTPS enforcement and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security posture. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. Overall, Integral's website is professional and trustworthy from a content and design perspective but would benefit from improved domain registration transparency and enhanced security headers. The risk level is moderate, primarily due to the missing WHOIS data. Strategic recommendations include verifying domain registration, implementing security headers, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies.

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 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

  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

  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

Integral operates in the media sector, specifically focusing on music distribution and related services. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with PIAS and its extensive experience of over 30 years. The business model centers on providing value-added services to independent record labels and artists, including digital and physical distribution, sales, promotion, and licensing. The target customers are music industry professionals seeking global market access. The company maintains partnerships with numerous reputable independent labels, enhancing its market credibility. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website and integration with PIAS's broader ecosystem. The company appears medium-sized with a consistent brand presence and professional digital footprint.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration, which is a critical security baseline. A cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy compliance requirements. However, the lack of detected security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection suggests incomplete security hardening. No forms or input fields were found on the homepage to evaluate input validation or secure data handling. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. The missing WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, potentially impacting trust and domain legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with additional technical and policy measures.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish accurate WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information to increase transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add contact phone numbers or additional verified contact methods to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks proactively.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme, leveraging modern front-end technologies including CSS3 and JavaScript. It uses FontAwesome for icons and includes a cookie consent plugin. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices with appropriate meta tags. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading of images, though some images show loading errors which could be addressed. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. No analytics or tracking scripts beyond cookie consent were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but has room for optimization and security enhancements.
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.
