Radio France · Media · France

Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view.

Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

Radio France is a major French public broadcasting organization offering live radio streaming, podcasts, and replay services across multiple branded stations such as France Inter, franceinfo, France Culture, and others. The website demonstrates a high level of digital maturity with modern technologies like SvelteKit, performance monitoring via Akamai mPulse, and privacy consent management through Didomi. The content is rich, professionally presented, and well-structured for accessibility and SEO. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and privacy mechanisms, though explicit privacy and terms policies are not found in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap that affects domain trust but does not detract from the evident legitimacy of the brand and content.

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.

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 France holds a leading position in the French media landscape as a public broadcaster. Its business model centers on providing free-to-access radio and podcast content to French-speaking audiences, supported by public funding and possibly advertising. The website's ecosystem includes multiple radio brands targeting diverse audience segments interested in news, culture, music, and education. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web frameworks and CDNs to ensure fast and reliable content delivery. The organization maintains a consistent brand identity and offers extensive multimedia content, positioning itself strongly against competitors in the public media sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses security best practices such as privacy consent management and performance monitoring. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents an area for improvement. The missing WHOIS data also raises questions about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is robust but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages linked from the homepage.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to ensure compliance and security.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the SvelteKit framework, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS for a responsive and performant user experience. It uses Akamai CDN for content delivery and includes advanced performance monitoring with Boomerang mPulse. Privacy management is handled via Didomi SDK, and Facebook Pixel is used for marketing analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with structured data (JSON-LD) implemented for SEO. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a high-quality user experience.
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.
