0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Regio TV is a regional digital media company focused on delivering news and media content primarily to audiences in Baden-Württemberg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The website serves as a platform for regional news broadcasting, digital media services, and production of various media content including image films and commercials. The company positions itself as a local media provider with a focus on community engagement through multiple digital channels. Technically, the website employs modern video playback technology (Video.js), analytics (Matomo and Google Tag Manager), and bot protection (hCaptcha), indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of visible contact information, suggests gaps in compliance and user transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but missing security headers and incident response details. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and clearer contact and security policies.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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

Regio TV operates in the media sector with a regional focus, targeting residents of specific German states. Its business model revolves around content creation and distribution via digital platforms, likely monetized through advertising and production services. The company leverages video content and social media to engage its audience. Market positioning is that of a regional broadcaster with a niche audience. The lack of detailed corporate information and registrant data limits deeper business intelligence insights. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary relationships. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and good content quality, supporting a medium-sized operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of bot protection via hCaptcha. Analytics are implemented with privacy-respecting Matomo alongside Google Tag Manager. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, which is a compliance and operational gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Video.js for video playback, Matomo and Google Tag Manager for analytics, and hCaptcha for bot mitigation. The HTML structure includes responsive design elements and meta tags for SEO and social sharing. No explicit CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance appears moderate with some optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. The site lacks some security best practices such as security headers. Hosting provider details are not explicit from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
