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

Mouthwatering Records is a Switzerland-based independent music label specializing in publishing, management, and artist development. The company operates a professional website showcasing featured artists, new releases, and management services, positioning itself as a niche player in the independent music industry. The website content is well-structured and visually appealing, targeting music professionals and fans interested in independent music. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS (Glorya) with common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Masonry, hosted likely by Hostpoint AG. The site performs moderately well with good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks advanced accessibility features. From a security perspective, the domain is registered since 2006 with transparent WHOIS data and clientTransferProhibited status, indicating a stable and legitimate presence. However, the website lacks critical security headers and DNSSEC, which could improve its security posture. There are no visible privacy or cookie policies, nor contact information or incident response channels, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site is fully accessible. Overall, the website demonstrates a good business credibility and content quality but falls short in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policies, and contact transparency would enhance trust and compliance. The risk level is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected but with room for security and compliance enhancements.

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

7 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

      • 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

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Mouthwatering Records operates as a small independent music label focused on artist publishing, management, and development within the Swiss market. The business model revolves around nurturing artists and promoting their music through various channels, including partnerships with promotion companies like Prolog Music. The company leverages digital platforms such as YouTube for content distribution. The market positioning is niche, targeting independent artists and music enthusiasts. The website content and structure support this positioning with featured artists and new releases prominently displayed. The lack of extensive contact information or certifications suggests a lean operation. Growth indicators include recent releases and active artist promotion. The partnership ecosystem includes Prolog Music, indicating collaboration within the music promotion sector.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is basic. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the business claims, which supports legitimacy. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the site's defense against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security contact channels are provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security incidents effectively. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement standard security headers, enable DNSSEC, and add privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and improve transparency with users.
  4. Add clear contact information and dedicated security incident response channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in the CMS and third-party scripts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Glorya CMS platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Masonry for UI layout and interactivity. The site is hosted on servers managed by Hostpoint AG, as inferred from the nameservers. The HTML structure is valid with proper meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social sharing. The site includes embedded YouTube videos for multimedia content. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, and mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected in the provided content. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
