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

RADIO 7 is a regional private radio broadcaster based in Ulm, Germany, offering a variety of services including live radio streaming, podcasts, regional news, entertainment, and event ticketing. The website reflects a strong local media presence with multiple regional studios and a broad content offering targeting general audiences in southern Germany. The business model centers on media broadcasting and advertising, supported by partnerships with ticketing and advertising platforms. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact channels and social media integration. Technically, the website leverages modern JavaScript frameworks (Nuxt.js/Vue.js), integrates a consent management platform (Usercentrics), and uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting and media assets are served via Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring good performance and scalability. The site demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and anonymizes IP addresses in analytics. Consent mechanisms for cookies and privacy are implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure policy is found. The WHOIS data is minimal, lacking detailed registrant information, which slightly reduces trust but is not uncommon for media companies using managed DNS services. Overall, RADIO 7's website is a well-maintained, secure, and privacy-conscious platform that effectively serves its regional audience. Strategic improvements could include publishing dedicated security and incident response policies and enhancing transparency around vulnerability disclosures.

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

5 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 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';…
  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

RADIO 7 holds a solid position as a regional media broadcaster in southern Germany, focusing on current hits, regional news, and entertainment. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content, multiple regional studios, and diversified offerings including podcasts and event ticketing. Revenue streams likely include advertising, event promotions, and partnerships with ticketing platforms. The target customers are general audiences in the region, advertisers, and event attendees. The company maintains partnerships with local businesses and advertising clients, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates, event highlights, and digital streaming services. The website's professional presentation supports brand credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, comprehensive security headers, and privacy-focused analytics configurations. The use of a consent management platform ensures compliance with GDPR cookie regulations. Login forms require mandatory fields, indicating basic input validation. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA or rate limiting to prevent automated abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with server-side rendering for SEO benefits. It uses Usercentrics for consent management and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Media assets are hosted on AWS S3 in the EU Central region, supporting fast content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like ARIA roles and keyboard navigation aids. Preloading of scripts and stylesheets indicates performance optimization efforts. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, performant, and aligned with current web standards.
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.
