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

6 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 under the Radiotelevisione Italiana S.p.A., a large enterprise in the media and telecommunications sector. It leverages its public broadcaster status to maintain a leading market position in Italy's digital audio space. The business model focuses on content distribution and audience engagement through live radio, podcasts, and audiobooks, supported by advertising and public funding. The platform integrates with mobile apps and uses third-party analytics and advertising networks to optimize user experience and monetization. The absence of direct contact information on the site suggests centralized customer support via the parent company's channels. The platform's extensive content catalog and official branding reinforce its competitive advantage and market trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent banners to comply with privacy regulations. It uses Google Tag Manager and IMR Worldwide for analytics and advertising, indicating controlled script management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not visible in the provided data and should be verified. The lack of a published security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance security readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Verify and enforce comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels on the website for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and apply integrity checks.
  5. Enhance user contact options with verified support emails or phone numbers for improved trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript with Web Components, and frameworks like Lit. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and script management and uses CDNs for fonts and media delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with some heavy media content but optimized loading strategies. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting appears to be managed by Rai or associated providers, with Akamai CDN usage inferred. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to mitigate supply chain risks.
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.
