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

Qobuz is a well-established digital music service specializing in high-quality streaming and Hi-Res downloads, targeting audiophiles and music enthusiasts primarily in Finland and other international markets. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with extensive content, clear subscription offerings, and a strong brand identity. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies, including SPA architecture, advanced analytics, and performance monitoring tools, ensuring a fast and responsive user experience across devices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement, content security policies, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though the lack of WHOIS transparency slightly reduces domain trustworthiness.

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

3 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Qobuz holds a leading position in the niche market of high-resolution music streaming and downloads, differentiating itself through superior audio quality and a rich catalogue exceeding 100 million tracks. Its business model combines subscription streaming with digital sales, appealing to both casual listeners and audiophiles. The company leverages partnerships such as community forums and dedicated help sites to enhance customer engagement. The website's multilingual support and regional targeting indicate a broad international strategy. While direct contact details are limited on the main page, the presence of structured data and clear navigation supports user trust and conversion.

Security posture

The website employs industry-standard security measures including HTTPS, content security policies, and cookie consent frameworks, reflecting a commitment to user privacy and data protection. The integration of monitoring tools like New Relic and Microsoft Clarity aids in proactive performance and security management. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure program suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Include data protection officer contact details to align with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks with SPA design, ensuring smooth navigation and dynamic content delivery. It utilizes advanced analytics and monitoring services such as New Relic, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager for performance and user behavior insights. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, contributing to fast load times and global availability. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and preloaded fonts. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. SEO is supported through comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured FAQ schema, improving search engine 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.
