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.

Priority findings

6 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 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

  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"

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 holds a solid market position in the German media industry, focusing on nostalgic music content. Its competitive advantage lies in its multi-channel presence including live streams, podcasts, and mobile apps, supported by a consistent brand identity and active social media engagement. Revenue streams likely include advertising and event sponsorships. The target audience is adults interested in nostalgic music, primarily in Germany. Partnerships with career and media advertising sites indicate a broader ecosystem supporting the brand. Growth indicators include active content updates, event promotions, and app downloads. The company operates with a medium-sized footprint and maintains a professional digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of consent management for privacy compliance. Tracking and analytics are implemented responsibly with user consent. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS) and lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and enhancing security headers to mitigate risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more comprehensive physical contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern CMS (Drupal 10) with a well-structured front-end leveraging Bootstrap and Owl Carousel for UI components. Analytics and tracking are implemented via Matomo, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, integrated with Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management. Hosting appears to be on Hetzner infrastructure with Cloudflare DNS. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and asynchronous analytics. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by adding security headers and improving incident response visibility.
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.
