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

Ambebi.ge is a Georgian-language online news portal offering a wide range of content including politics, economy, entertainment, medicine, crime, and sports. The site targets Georgian-speaking audiences interested in current affairs and lifestyle content. It maintains partnerships with several notable Georgian news outlets, enhancing its market presence. Technically, the website leverages modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and integrates multiple analytics and advertising services including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile-optimized and employs HTTPS with good security headers, indicating a solid technical foundation. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of explicit contact information, represents gaps in privacy compliance and user trust. The WHOIS data is minimal and privacy-protected, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, the website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture and business credibility but should improve privacy compliance and incident response transparency.

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. 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

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

Ambebi.ge operates as a medium-sized media entity in Georgia, focusing on news and informational content. Its business model revolves around content publishing and advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with other Georgian news platforms. The site offers diverse content categories and additional features such as astrology forecasts and puzzles, broadening its audience engagement. The presence of multiple advertising networks and tracking tools suggests a monetization strategy heavily reliant on digital advertising. The lack of explicit company registration or contact details limits full business transparency. The site’s market position is strengthened by its partnerships and content variety, targeting a broad demographic of Georgian news consumers.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes several security headers, contributing to a good baseline security posture. It uses asynchronous loading of third-party scripts to optimize performance and reduce blocking. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and incident response contact information indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and related privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The extensive use of third-party advertising and tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure process, and enhancing accessibility and security awareness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to minimize security and privacy risks.
  5. Improve accessibility features to comply with standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Vue.js framework and integrates multiple third-party analytics and advertising technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, Adocean, and Admixer. It uses video.js for media content and supports mobile responsiveness with adaptive layouts. The site loads scripts asynchronously to improve performance. SEO is supported by well-structured meta tags including Open Graph and canonical links. However, no JSON-LD structured data was detected. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and formalized technical documentation for security and privacy compliance.
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.
