Risk levelMedium

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

United Media is a leading media company operating in Southeast Europe, offering a comprehensive range of end-to-end media services including media outlets, production, distribution, advertising, merchandising, and e-sport. The company positions itself as a digital-first organization with a strong presence across multiple media platforms. The website reflects a mature and professional business with consistent branding and a clear market focus. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, demonstrating a moderate level of digital maturity and performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy and longevity of the business. Strategic improvements in security and privacy documentation would enhance trust 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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. 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

United Media operates in the media sector with a large-scale business model targeting diverse audiences in Southeast Europe. Its competitive advantage lies in its integrated media services and digital-first approach. The company leverages multiple platforms and channels to reach its market, supported by a mature domain and professional web presence. Revenue streams likely include advertising, content production, distribution, and merchandising. The absence of explicit contact details and privacy policies online suggests areas for transparency improvement. The company uses reputable third-party services for analytics and cookie management, indicating a structured approach to digital marketing and compliance. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the provided data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No security policy or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The WHOIS data shows no privacy protection, which is appropriate for this business type and adds to trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enable DNSSEC, implement security headers, and publish security and privacy policies to improve compliance and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages linked from the homepage.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, jQuery 3.6.0, and Google Analytics integration, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. The site uses Google Fonts and OneTrust for cookie consent, reflecting attention to user experience and compliance. Performance is moderate with lazy loading techniques employed. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy.com, LLC as per WHOIS registrar data. The site lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers, which are technical risks. Overall, the infrastructure is stable but could benefit from security hardening and enhanced privacy documentation.
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.
