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 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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 11 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 company positions itself as a user-friendly and feature-rich podcast hosting provider in the German-speaking market. Key competitive advantages include unlimited podcasts and episodes, integrated podcast websites, modern podcast players, detailed analytics, and monetization options. The presence of customer testimonials and active social media channels supports trust and community engagement. Pricing transparency and legal compliance further enhance credibility. The company targets individual podcasters, hobbyists, and businesses, indicating a broad market approach with growth potential.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized transfers. CSRF tokens are implemented, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating good privacy practices. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not explicitly detected, representing areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a gap in transparency. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional DNS and HTTP security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Implement and report standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Continue maintaining transparent privacy and cookie consent practices to uphold GDPR compliance.

Notes

The website is built on a modern Ruby on Rails stack with Alpine.js for interactivity and uses FontAwesome icons and the Podlove Web Player for podcast playback. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supported by AWS DNS nameservers. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph images. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Plausible Analytics, balancing tracking needs with privacy considerations. The site uses CSRF tokens and cookie consent banners, reflecting mature technical implementation.
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.
