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. 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 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

      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

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

SAT.1 is positioned as a major regional media provider in Germany, focusing on Bavarian news and entertainment. The business model revolves around broadcasting, online video streaming, and content distribution through partnerships like Joyn. The site targets a broad demographic interested in local news, sports, and weather. The presence of structured data and consistent branding supports strong market positioning. While direct contact information and detailed corporate disclosures are not evident, the association with ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE enhances credibility. The partnership with Joyn indicates a strategic ecosystem for content delivery and monetization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, reflecting GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing security headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved with formal documentation and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy page accessible from the main navigation.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages detailing user rights and security practices.
  3. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering capabilities, supporting good SEO and performance. The use of Swiper.js enables rich interactive carousels for video and article teasers. Cookie consent is managed by Usercentrics, indicating integration with privacy management tools. The site loads multiple JavaScript chunks and CSS stylesheets, suggesting modular and scalable architecture. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain and assets are served securely. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in image loading and script management. No CMS was explicitly detected, implying a custom or proprietary content management solution.
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.
