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

TVListings.eu is a specialized media website providing TV program listings primarily for Finland and other European countries. The site offers multi-language support and detailed channel guides, targeting general audiences interested in TV schedules. The business model appears to be advertising-supported, leveraging Google Adsense and other ad networks. The website is hosted by GoDaddy.com, LLC and uses modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for tracking and analytics. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and structured content. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks important security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. Contact information is limited to a contact form without direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe for general audiences but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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

10 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. 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

  3. 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';…

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 website occupies a niche market segment providing TV listings and program guides for Finland and Europe, with multi-language support indicating an intent to serve diverse European audiences. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content and comprehensive channel coverage. Revenue is likely generated through advertising, as evidenced by Google Adsense integration. The partnership with AmericaTVListings.com suggests a broader network of regional TV listing services. The business appears small in scale but focused, with no visible parent or subsidiary companies. Growth potential exists through expanding language support and improving compliance and security to build user trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are essential for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, and no security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. Privacy compliance is insufficient, lacking privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, which may expose the site to regulatory risks under GDPR. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook SDK introduces tracking concerns. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires significant improvements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide clear security and incident response policies including dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted frontend framework (Bootstrap 5) combined with jQuery for interactivity. It integrates Google Adsense for monetization and Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for user tracking and marketing. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy.com, LLC, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and multi-language hreflang links. However, the absence of a CMS or backend technology details limits deeper technical assessment. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance operational resilience.
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.
