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

Radio LOTTE Weimar is a community radio station serving the city of Weimar, Germany, providing local news, event information, and broadcasting services. The website is primarily in German and targets local residents interested in community radio content. The business operates in the media sector with a small organizational size, focusing on community engagement and information dissemination. Technically, the website uses common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, and is likely powered by TYPO3 CMS hosted by Cloudpit. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism via Usercentrics, indicating some level of privacy compliance, though no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking visible security headers and detailed security policies. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve in privacy transparency and security documentation.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The station holds a local market position as a community broadcaster in Weimar, focusing on news and event programming. Its business model revolves around community service rather than commercial revenue streams. The website's content quality and branding are consistent, supporting its role as a trusted local media source. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The use of Usercentrics for consent management suggests awareness of GDPR requirements, though full compliance documentation is missing. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with the business location, supporting legitimacy.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and uses a reputable consent management platform, Usercentrics, to handle cookie policies. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of explicit security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie consent mechanisms and ensure full GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery and Bootstrap, indicating a stable but somewhat dated technology base. TYPO3 CMS is inferred from file paths, which is a robust CMS suitable for media organizations. Hosting is provided by Cloudpit, a German hosting provider, aligning with the site's geographic focus. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization present. SEO and accessibility are basic to good, with proper meta tags and responsive design. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve accessibility features for broader compliance and 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.
