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. 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

  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

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

Nostalgie operates within the media sector, targeting adult listeners interested in nostalgic music. Its business model revolves around broadcasting and digital content delivery, monetized through advertising and sponsored content. The brand benefits from being part of DPG Media, a major media conglomerate in Belgium, which enhances its market position and operational capabilities. The website's content strategy includes music streaming, podcasts, and interactive features like competitions, appealing to a loyal audience segment. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and digital advertising networks, supporting audience engagement and revenue generation. Growth indicators include a modernized web presence and integration with popular streaming services.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and comprehensive security headers implemented. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Privacy policies are GDPR compliant, and cookie consent mechanisms are active, reflecting good data protection practices. The site does not show signs of phishing or malware, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with accessibility. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing vulnerability reporting and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency and community trust.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve readiness and communication.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance user awareness by providing clear information on data protection officer contact and data retention policies.
  5. Maintain and update security headers and SSL configurations to adhere to evolving best practices.

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks React and Gatsby, enabling fast static site generation and dynamic content delivery. It uses slick carousel for interactive UI components and Google Fonts for typography. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data, although no explicit JSON-LD schema was detected in the truncated HTML. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but performance indicators suggest a reliable hosting environment. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a high-quality user experience with minimal technical debt.
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.
