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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. 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"

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

Joyn operates in the competitive German media streaming market with a freemium business model combining advertising and subscription revenue. Its target audience includes German-speaking users in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The platform leverages partnerships within the ProSiebenSat.1 group and maintains a consistent brand presence. The geo-blocking notice reflects licensing and regulatory compliance, which is critical in media distribution. The company’s digital presence is supported by modern web technologies and AWS hosting, enabling scalability and performance. No direct contact or incident response information is publicly available on this page, which may limit direct customer or security engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The site does not display cookie consent mechanisms, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Include terms of service accessible from the main navigation or footer for legal clarity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Next.js, a React-based framework, with server-side rendering and static export capabilities, indicating a modern and performant architecture. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure supports scalability and reliability. The use of GraphQL APIs suggests a flexible backend integration. Performance is moderate with preloading of CSS and fonts, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA live regions are implemented, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and viewport settings. However, no CMS is explicitly detected, implying a custom or proprietary content management approach. Overall, the technical stack is modern and well-implemented with opportunities to enhance security headers and privacy controls.
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.
