Their business model revolves around organizing events and delivering media content year-round to niche audiences, positioning themselves as a dynamic and high-growth player in the media sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant content showcasing their brands and news updates. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and includes cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts.

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

2 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

      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';…

  2. 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

Raccoon Media Group operates in the media sector with a focus on passion-led communities, leveraging events and media properties to engage specialist audiences. Their market positioning as a high-growth, dynamic company is supported by multiple brands and awards. The business model is event-driven with content delivery, targeting both B2C and B2B segments globally. The company maintains memberships with industry bodies such as AEO and SISO, enhancing credibility. Revenue streams likely include event sponsorships, ticket sales, and media advertising. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized industry organizations, and the company demonstrates growth through recent news and awards. The website content and structure support clear communication of their services and brand portfolio, aiding customer engagement and market reach. The absence of terms of service and explicit security policies suggests areas for operational maturity improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer restrictions in place. The presence of a cookie consent banner with customization options indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are published, limiting transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and CookieYes requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but additional measures such as a security.txt file and published incident response contacts would strengthen the posture. Overall, the security posture is adequate but can be improved with standard best practices and transparency enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager integration, reflecting a modern and widely supported technology stack. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses cookie consent management via CookieYes, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements or errors. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) implemented. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and enhance transparency to align with best practices.
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.
