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. 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

  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';…

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention radioplayer.de, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company targets German radio listeners by providing free access to a wide range of radio stations and podcasts through multiple digital channels. Its business model centers on aggregating content from public and private broadcasters, supported by partnerships with automotive and smart device manufacturers. The platform's integration into connected cars and voice assistants positions it well for growth in the evolving media consumption landscape. The presence of official social media channels and legal pages supports transparency and user trust. However, the absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the website suggests a preference for contact via forms or social media.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Security headers are minimal but present. The use of outdated jQuery versions poses a moderate risk that should be addressed to prevent potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is good but can be strengthened by updating libraries, adding cookie consent, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR requirements.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate security risks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with legacy jQuery libraries. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern meta tags for SEO and viewport control. Performance is moderate, likely impacted by older JavaScript libraries and multiple CSS files. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses HTTPS with no visible mixed content issues. There is room for modernization by updating JavaScript libraries and improving accessibility compliance. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided HTML, indicating minimal user tracking.
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.
