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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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
  • 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

RaiPlay Sound operates as a key digital extension of Rai's public broadcasting services, focusing on audio content delivery. Its business model revolves around public service media provision with user engagement through personalized content and registration. The platform leverages partnerships with advertising and analytics providers like IMR Worldwide and Google to monetize and optimize user experience. The target market is broad, encompassing general Italian radio listeners and podcast consumers. Rai's established reputation and government backing provide competitive advantages and market trust. The platform's integration with mobile apps and social media channels enhances its reach and user retention. Strategic observations include the need to expand direct contact channels and possibly publish more explicit security and incident response policies to further enhance trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and use of modern web technologies that reduce common vulnerabilities. No critical security headers were explicitly visible in the HTML, suggesting room for improvement in explicit header deployment. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and header policies to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Provide a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Expand direct contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced and maintain up-to-date dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript, CSS3, HTML5, and web components, with frameworks such as Lit and libraries like Modernizr and Flatpickr. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Gigya for analytics and identity management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. Hosting appears stable and likely managed by Rai or trusted providers. Technical risks are minimal, but explicit CMS or hosting details are not disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and security header implementation to enhance overall technical robustness.
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.
