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

The Média Akadémia website represents a Hungarian non-profit foundation dedicated to media education and talent development, primarily targeting future television and radio professionals. The site is well-structured with rich content including news articles, event information, and educational program details. It leverages WordPress CMS with a variety of plugins to deliver multimedia content and interactive features. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security shortfall that undermines user trust and data protection. The site implements a cookie consent mechanism but lacks comprehensive privacy and security policies. The domain registration is consistent and aligns with the organization's public media affiliations, indicating legitimacy. Strategic improvements in security posture and privacy compliance are necessary to enhance overall trustworthiness and compliance.

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

8 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

  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 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';…

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

Média Akadémia operates as an important entity within the Hungarian media education sector, collaborating closely with public media organizations such as MTVA. Its business model focuses on non-profit educational services, including talent nurturing programs and conferences. The foundation maintains a moderate market position with a clear target audience of media professionals and students. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized Hungarian media entities, enhancing its credibility. Content quality and branding are consistent, supporting a professional image. Growth indicators include active event hosting and media presence. However, the lack of explicit contact details and limited privacy disclosures may impact user engagement and trust.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While SPF records are correctly configured to protect email sending, the absence of DMARC and other email security policies is a gap. No advanced security headers or incident response information are present, indicating limited security maturity. Cookie consent is implemented, but further enhancements such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and secure cookie flags are recommended. The site does not exhibit signs of vulnerabilities or malware but requires urgent improvements to meet modern security standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce secure connections.
  3. Add DMARC policy to improve email authentication and reduce phishing risks.
  4. Enhance security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Publish clear privacy, security, and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  6. Improve contact information visibility including verified company emails and phone numbers.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.3.2 with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, Slick Carousel, and Video.js for rich media delivery. The hosting infrastructure uses Telekom.hu DNS servers with multiple A records indicating load balancing or redundancy. Performance metrics are not available but the site includes lazy loading and responsive design elements indicating good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by structured JSON-LD data and meta tags. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and alt attributes present. The lack of HTTPS and security headers is a significant technical risk. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and CDNs, which should be monitored for security and privacy compliance.
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.
