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

Songtradr is a leading global music licensing and solutions platform founded in 2014. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including music licensing, custom composition, music supervision, rights management, and brand sonic strategy. Their platform serves a diverse audience including digital platforms, businesses, agencies, artists, rightsholders, and music fans worldwide. Songtradr positions itself as a trusted partner with extensive industry relationships and a strong technology infrastructure. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as React, Ant Design, and integrates advanced tools like Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise and Termly for privacy compliance. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, features good accessibility, and employs performance-enhancing libraries. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and consent management, although explicit security headers and incident response policies are not publicly documented. The security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is robust with clear privacy and cookie policies and active consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly that slightly impacts the trust score. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with professional design and content, supporting a high level of trustworthiness. Strategically, Songtradr should consider publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts to enhance transparency. Additionally, verifying and publishing domain registration details would improve legitimacy perception. Continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and enhancing accessibility features will further strengthen their security and compliance posture.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Songtradr operates in the media sector, focusing on music licensing and related services. Their business model revolves around providing a marketplace and technology platform that connects music creators, rightsholders, and licensees. Revenue streams likely include licensing fees, custom composition services, and platform subscriptions. The company targets a broad customer base including brands, agencies, game developers, independent artists, and live streamers. Their partnership ecosystem includes major brands and agencies, supported by technology integrations with payment and analytics providers. Growth indicators include a large catalog, industry awards, and a global presence. The company emphasizes innovation and comprehensive music solutions, positioning itself as a market leader in sync licensing and music rights management.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Termly, indicating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact are gaps. The missing WHOIS data raises a minor concern regarding domain registration transparency. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing formal security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and integrations for security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed compliance standards and improve user experience.

It integrates advanced tools such as Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot protection, Termly for cookie consent management, and Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and A/B testing. The use of CDN-hosted libraries like Slick Carousel and Animate.css enhances performance and user experience. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data.

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.
