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. 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.

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Business profile

Red Bull Content Pool operates as a content licensing and editorial distribution platform under the Red Bull brand, a global leader in energy drinks and media. The business model focuses on providing high-quality media content to journalists and media outlets, enhancing brand visibility and engagement. The platform supports Red Bull's broader marketing ecosystem by distributing multimedia content related to its sponsored sports, cultural, and entertainment events. The site’s enterprise-level infrastructure and comprehensive privacy compliance reflect a mature digital presence. While direct contact information is limited, the platform integrates with Red Bull's corporate structure, benefiting from its global reputation and resources. The lack of WHOIS transparency may be a strategic choice or due to recent domain registration, but the overall business intelligence indicates a well-established and credible operation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for cookie consent indicates attention to privacy and compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in handling security incidents. There is no evidence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program, which are recommended best practices for enterprise sites. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by adding explicit security governance documentation and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and incident response procedures.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Maintain WHOIS records transparency or provide justification for privacy protection to improve trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 18.2.4, a modern and robust front-end framework, ensuring a responsive and dynamic user experience. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, integrated via subdomain qm.redbullcontentpool.com. The site employs OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Web fonts are served from Red Bull's static content delivery network, enhancing branding consistency. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Hosting appears to be managed or contracted by Red Bull, with no third-party hosting providers explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, scalable, and well-maintained.
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.
