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

The website www.starchannel-hr.com serves as the official online presence for the STAR Channel TV channel in Croatia, providing visitors with TV schedules, video content, episode guides, and operator availability information. The site targets Croatian TV viewers interested in STAR Channel programming and operates primarily as a media broadcasting and content distribution platform. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are adequately implemented, contributing to a good user experience. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and detailed privacy or terms of service documentation. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and trust. Overall, the site is functional and content-rich but would benefit from enhanced security practices, clearer compliance documentation, and verified domain registration to improve trustworthiness and compliance.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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"

  3. 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

The STAR Channel website positions itself as a key media outlet for Croatian audiences, focusing on entertainment content such as series and movies. Its business model revolves around content distribution through partnerships with TV operators like MAXtv, iskon, EVOtv, A1 TV, Telemach EON TV, and GONET.TV. The site’s content and branding are consistent and professionally presented, targeting a medium-sized audience within the Croatian media sector. The lack of explicit business registration or contact details limits deeper insights into revenue streams or corporate structure. The use of Google advertising and tracking tools suggests monetization through ads and audience analytics. The absence of WHOIS data and privacy policies may impact user trust and regulatory compliance, which are critical in media and broadcasting industries.

Security posture

Security analysis reveals a moderate maturity level. The site uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and implements cookie consent via OneTrust, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The lack of visible contact information for security incidents or data protection officers suggests limited incident response readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content, but the absence of WHOIS data and privacy documentation are compliance gaps. Enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and terms policies, and providing incident response contacts would significantly improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including security incident response channels.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and tracking tools for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies with a focus on responsive design and user experience. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Ad Manager for analytics and advertising, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site loads multiple fonts and scripts from external CDNs, which may impact performance but also improve scalability. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires enhancements in security and compliance to reduce risks and improve 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.
