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. 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 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

  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"

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

Sveriges Radio holds a dominant position in the Swedish media landscape as a public service broadcaster. Its business model focuses on providing free-to-access news and entertainment content funded primarily through public means. The website targets a general audience interested in news, culture, and podcasts, leveraging a broad content portfolio to maintain engagement. The platform's use of modern web frameworks and multimedia content delivery indicates a commitment to digital innovation. While no direct revenue streams or partnerships are evident from the HTML content, the organization's public service status implies stable funding and regulatory oversight. The absence of explicit contact or corporate registration details on the site suggests a focus on content delivery rather than commercial transactions. The site’s ecosystem includes multiple subdomains for content delivery and media assets, supporting a scalable and robust digital presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications and user data protection. The use of Sentry for error tracking indicates proactive monitoring of application health. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options in the HTML snapshot suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. Privacy compliance indicators are minimal, with no explicit cookie consent mechanisms or GDPR-related disclosures found. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but would benefit from enhanced policy publication and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies linked prominently on the website.
  2. Implement and disclose a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Introduce cookie consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and monitoring tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js, a React-based framework, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. It uses modern web fonts (woff2) and SVG graphics for scalable visuals. The presence of multiple asynchronously loaded JavaScript chunks indicates modular and efficient code splitting. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation aids. SEO is supported by meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards, enhancing social media sharing. No CMS is explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-architected for a media organization.
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.
