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

Live Online Radio operates as a global online radio streaming directory, offering users access to over 100,000 radio stations from around the world. The platform targets general audiences interested in AM, FM, and internet radio stations, monetizing primarily through advertising such as Google Adsense. The website is built on WordPress with a custom theme and integrates common web technologies including jQuery and Google Tag Manager. The domain is well-established since 2010, indicating a mature presence in the online radio niche. Technically, the site demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, it lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and user trust. The absence of a terms of service page and limited privacy policy details suggest room for improvement in legal and compliance transparency. Social media presence on Facebook and Twitter supports community engagement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS but does not enable DNSSEC or implement security headers, which could expose it to certain risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with standard best practices. The overall risk is moderate with no critical issues detected. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and legal documentation would strengthen trust and reduce potential vulnerabilities. The business model is straightforward, focusing on content aggregation and advertising revenue, with a consistent brand and good content quality.

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. 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"

    • 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

    • 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

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

Live Online Radio occupies a niche in the media sector as an aggregator and streaming platform for online radio stations worldwide. Its competitive advantage lies in the extensive catalog of stations and ease of access via search and favorites features. The business model is advertising-supported, leveraging Google Adsense and tracking technologies to monetize traffic. Target customers are general internet users interested in radio content globally. The company shows signs of steady operation since 2010 but lacks visible corporate structure or certifications. Partnerships appear limited to advertising networks and social media platforms. Growth potential exists through enhanced user engagement and expanded service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status, indicating domain ownership protection. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are available, which could hinder timely mitigation of security events. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism despite active tracking scripts. The lack of a data protection officer contact and security policy further limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small media site but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of tracking and advertising scripts.
  4. Publish a comprehensive terms of service page and enhance the privacy policy with GDPR compliance details.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme 'radio-v5' and uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting details are partially obscured but DNS is managed via Cloudflare, providing DNS resilience and some security benefits. Performance is moderate with preconnect and preload optimizations for key resources. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers. The presence of multiple Google services indicates reliance on third-party analytics and advertising platforms. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities include enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance tooling.
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.
