Advertising is managed via Google Ad Manager and Google Adsense, with user tracking through Google Analytics configured for IP anonymization. The site includes a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR requirements.

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
    • 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. 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

The magazine operates in the media sector focusing on family and parenting content, serving a regional German audience. Its business model includes content publication, event promotion, newsletter subscriptions, and advertising revenue. The site shows consistent branding and good content quality, positioning it as a trusted local media source. Partnerships include media data services hosted on a related subdomain. The lack of explicit contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on digital content delivery rather than direct customer service. Growth potential lies in expanding digital offerings and enhancing user engagement through interactive content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and privacy-conscious analytics configuration. However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency in security management. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR but no explicit data retention policies are visible. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media site but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Consider adding visible contact information such as email or phone to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Metro Publisher CMS, a specialized platform for media publications, combined with Amazon Cloudfront CDN for efficient content delivery. Google Analytics and Google Ad Manager are integrated for analytics and advertising. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes a service worker for PWA capabilities. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and CDN usage. SEO is supported by canonical URLs, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic with skip links and ARIA labels but could be improved. No major technical debt or outdated libraries detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly media website.
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.
