Risk levelLow

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

Spreaker is a podcast hosting and streaming platform offering users access to a wide range of podcasts and immersive audio experiences. The platform targets podcast listeners and creators, providing web and mobile app access. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with good content quality and user experience. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js, integrates analytics tools like Amplitude and Google Tag Manager, and is hosted on a reliable CDN (Amazon Cloudfront), ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers likely in place, although explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures are absent. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a cookie consent mechanism but lacks a visible privacy policy or terms of service pages. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits trust from a registration perspective but does not detract from the site's operational legitimacy. Overall, Spreaker presents a mature digital presence suitable for its media industry niche.

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

3 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 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Spreaker operates in the media sector as a podcast platform, serving a medium-sized audience of podcast listeners and creators. Its business model revolves around hosting and streaming audio content, likely monetized through advertising, subscriptions, or partnerships. The company leverages a modern technology stack and analytics to optimize user engagement. The absence of detailed business registration or contact information on the site suggests a focus on user-facing services rather than corporate transparency on the website itself. The platform's integration with mobile apps and social media indicates a broad ecosystem approach. Strategic growth could be supported by enhancing compliance transparency and security communication.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses security best practices such as CSRF tokens and secure cookies. It integrates a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles, although no explicit privacy or security policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a security.txt file or incident response contact information limits the site's readiness for coordinated vulnerability disclosure. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing formal security and privacy documentation and providing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user data handling to improve privacy compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Alpine.js for frontend interactivity, Amplitude and Google Tag Manager for analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. The HTML structure includes proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph, Twitter Cards). No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with minimal blocking scripts. Technical risks are low, but the absence of explicit privacy and security documentation is a gap in compliance and user trust.
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.
