kurier.tv is a professional Austrian media website operated by Telekurier Online Medien GmbH & Co KG, providing video content including news, talk shows, documentaries, and magazine-style programming. The site targets a general German-speaking audience interested in current affairs and cultural content. The business model relies on advertising revenue with an option for users to subscribe for an ad-free experience. The domain is well established since 2010 and the website branding is consistent with the company identity. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including lazy loading, SVG graphics, and integrates third-party consent management and payment services such as Didomi and Tinypass. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The website enforces HTTPS and provides a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, indicating good privacy compliance. However, some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers could be improved. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly found in the provided content, and no terms of service page was detected. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and 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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Telekurier Online Medien GmbH & Co KG operates kurier.tv as a medium-sized media outlet focused on video content in Austria. The company leverages its established brand 'KURIER' to deliver news and entertainment content, targeting a broad audience interested in current events and cultural programming. Revenue streams include advertising and subscription-based ad-free access. The website ecosystem includes partnerships with privacy and payment service providers, reflecting a mature digital strategy. The lack of explicit contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on content delivery rather than direct customer service via the site. The company appears well positioned in the Austrian media market with a consistent brand and digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and integration of consent management tools to comply with privacy regulations. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents minor gaps that could be addressed to enhance DNS security and mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site does not publicly disclose a security policy or incident response contacts, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is solid for a media website but could benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a terms of service page to complete legal documentation and user agreement clarity.
  5. Consider adding explicit company contact information on the website for improved user support and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, SVG graphics, lazy loading images, and integrates third-party services for consent management (Didomi) and payment/advertising (Tinypass). DNS and hosting leverage Cloudflare services, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for a media content provider.
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.
