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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention tvtoday-abo.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

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 operates in the media sector, focusing on magazine subscriptions with a direct-to-consumer approach. It leverages premium incentives to attract subscribers and maintains partnerships with other magazine subscription sites under the BurdaVerlag umbrella. The target audience is German-speaking consumers interested in TV programming. The company benefits from established brand recognition and a medium-sized operation scale. The presence of multiple related domains indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. The business model is stable with recurring revenue from subscriptions and cross-promotions. Growth potential lies in expanding digital offerings and enhancing customer engagement through personalized marketing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of a consent management platform reflecting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. The site uses secure forms with tokens to prevent CSRF attacks. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with user privacy controls. Recommendations include implementing standard security headers and publishing a security.txt file to improve transparency and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the OXID eShop Enterprise Edition platform, indicating a robust e-commerce backend tailored for subscription sales. The front-end uses jQuery and various JavaScript libraries for UI components like carousels and modals. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Webtrekk, and Kameleoon shows a sophisticated marketing and analytics setup. The site is hosted with MarkMonitor DNS services, suggesting professional domain management. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and preloading optimizations. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
