The station relies heavily on volunteer broadcasters and offers a wide range of specialty shows, podcasts, and live events, positioning itself as a key cultural media player in the region. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies such as Vue.js and Adobe Experience Manager, with integration of Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and rich content. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 X operates as a non-commercial community radio station targeting youth and culturally engaged audiences in Basel and beyond. Its business model is based on volunteer participation, sponsorships, and donations rather than commercial advertising. The station maintains a strong local market position with a loyal listener base of approximately 40,000 daily users. Partnerships with cultural festivals and local organizations enhance its ecosystem. The website content and social media presence support its brand as a vibrant cultural hub. Growth indicators include active event programming and digital streaming expansion. The absence of commercial ads and focus on community content reflect its mission-driven approach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No signs of exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager and Analytics is standard but should be regularly audited for privacy compliance. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could be improved to encourage responsible reporting. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security communication and formalized incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add clear contact information including security and abuse email addresses for incident reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize tracking footprint.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications or trust seals to reinforce credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js for frontend interactivity and Adobe Experience Manager as the CMS platform, indicating a robust content management infrastructure. Integration with Google Analytics and Tag Manager supports data-driven insights but requires privacy oversight. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses SVG logos and scalable images for quality branding. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load times and accessibility. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses canonical URLs and comprehensive meta tags for SEO. Hosting provider details were not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
