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

3 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 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 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. 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
  • 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 Veronica holds a strong market position in the Dutch media landscape as a popular radio broadcaster with a diversified digital offering. Its business model centers on advertising revenue through live and on-demand streaming services, supported by active promotional campaigns and social media engagement. The company benefits from its affiliation with Mediahuis, a significant media group, which enhances its credibility and operational scale. The website's content strategy focuses on engaging music fans with curated playlists, live DJ shows, and news updates, targeting a broad demographic of pop and rock enthusiasts. The integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to audience engagement and monetization. Strategic partnerships and a consistent brand presence across digital channels further strengthen its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of a consent management platform aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protection. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response information limits transparency for users and security researchers. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could improve responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security measures are effective for protecting user data and maintaining trust, but formalizing security governance documentation would be beneficial.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user protections.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by including verified company emails or phone numbers for support.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and tracking tools to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built using the modern SvelteKit framework, ensuring efficient client-side rendering and fast performance. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and advertising services including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and ScorecardResearch, managed via Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Security headers and HTTPS configuration are well implemented, contributing to a secure browsing environment. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom or proprietary content management solution. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but likely leverage Mediahuis infrastructure and CDN services. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with scalable and secure delivery.
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.
