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

Agerpress.ro is a Romanian media and news website launched in 2022, providing a variety of news articles and cultural content targeting a general audience. The site uses WordPress CMS with the Newspaper theme and is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services. The technical infrastructure is modern and supports mobile optimization, but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. The website does not display explicit contact information or privacy-related policies, which impacts its compliance posture. Security-wise, HTTPS is enabled, but additional security best practices should be implemented to enhance protection. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy, security, and transparency to increase 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

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

  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 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';…

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 operates in the media sector, focusing on news and cultural content for Romanian audiences. Its business model revolves around content publishing without visible monetization or advertising networks detected in the provided data. The site appears to be a small-scale operation with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests a need for better business transparency. The site’s partnership ecosystem is not evident from the data, and social media links are placeholders, indicating limited social engagement or marketing integration.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is properly configured, but the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security effectiveness. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits the site's readiness for security incidents. The lack of cookie consent and privacy policy indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No signs of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found, but regular security audits and policy implementations are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to improve security transparency and incident response.
  5. Enhance social media presence with valid links and integrate analytics tools with privacy considerations for better marketing and user insights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Newspaper theme, leveraging jQuery and standard WordPress scripts. It uses Cloudflare for DNS but does not show signs of active WAF or security challenge pages. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern fonts from Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading or errors. SEO optimization is basic with canonical links and RSS feeds present. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. The site lacks advanced technical security configurations and privacy compliance tools, indicating room for modernization and technical debt reduction.
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.
