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

Rouge is a Swiss regional media company operating a radio station with a strong digital presence including live streaming, podcasts, and mobile applications. The website targets the general public in the Canton of Vaud, offering entertainment, news, and contests. The business model revolves around media broadcasting and digital content delivery. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Extra theme and integrates common plugins such as Gravity Forms and Google Tag Manager. Hosting appears to be with Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss provider. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Contact information is partially available via social media and a WhatsApp link, but no direct company emails are published. WHOIS data is consistent and supports the legitimacy of the domain and business. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security transparency.

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

7 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • 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

Rouge holds a solid position as a regional radio broadcaster with digital expansion through podcasts and mobile apps. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content and multi-channel delivery. Revenue streams likely include advertising via Smart AdServer and sponsored content. The target audience is local listeners in Vaud, Switzerland, with engagement through social media and contests. The company demonstrates moderate digital maturity with modern CMS and analytics tools. Partnerships with app stores and streaming providers enhance reach. Strategic observations include the need to formalize privacy and security policies to align with regulatory requirements and build further trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Smart AdServer introduces tracking but is standard for media sites. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhanced headers, policy publication, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and privacy impact.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with the Extra theme and several plugins including Gravity Forms and DZS ZoomSounds for audio playback. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Smart AdServer for advertising. Hosting is likely with Infomaniak based on streaming URLs. The site is mobile responsive and uses modern web standards but lacks some accessibility features. Performance is moderate with some deferred CSS and JS loading. SEO is basic with meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by optimizing accessibility and adding structured data for better search visibility.
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.
