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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

TuneIn's market positioning as a top-tier internet radio service is supported by its broad content catalog and premium subscription offerings. The company leverages partnerships with major news and sports networks to enhance content value. Revenue streams include advertising and subscription fees. The target customer segments range from casual listeners to sports fans and podcast enthusiasts. Growth indicators include continuous content expansion and integration with smart devices like Alexa and Google Home. The partnership ecosystem includes major ad networks and analytics providers, enhancing monetization and user insights. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining compliance, enhancing security transparency, and expanding premium offerings to sustain competitive advantage.

Security posture

TuneIn exhibits a solid security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation, and comprehensive cookie consent management via OneTrust. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of modern security headers contribute to a strong security posture. Compliance with GDPR is evident through detailed privacy and cookie policies. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy and incident response contact channels limits transparency and may impact user trust in security matters. No immediate vulnerabilities or compliance gaps were identified, but establishing a vulnerability disclosure program and explicit security communications would enhance readiness and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Provide explicit security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Enhance security headers with explicit and comprehensive policies.

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.
