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

ANTARAFOTO is Indonesia's largest photojournalism and news photo provider, offering a comprehensive repository of journalistic images covering political, legal, economic, sports, arts, culture, and environmental topics. The website serves a broad audience interested in Indonesian news photography and related media content. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google Analytics, delivering a responsive and visually rich user experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure form submissions, though the absence of security headers and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement. Privacy and cookie policies are present, indicating awareness of compliance requirements, but lack of a cookie consent mechanism may be a gap. The WHOIS data is missing, which raises questions about domain registration transparency but does not directly undermine the site's legitimacy given the professional content and branding. Overall, the site is well-positioned in its niche with moderate technical maturity and a good security baseline.

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

5 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

Business profile

ANTARAFOTO operates as a media content provider specializing in photojournalism and news photography in Indonesia. Its market position as the largest provider in this niche suggests a strong competitive advantage and established brand recognition. The business model likely revolves around licensing images, providing curated photo collections, and offering photo stories to media outlets and the public. The presence of multiple language options and related partner domains under the Antaranews umbrella indicates a broad reach and strategic partnerships. Revenue streams may include licensing fees, advertising, and possibly subscription or purchase models for photo content. The target customers include journalists, media companies, researchers, and the general public interested in Indonesian news imagery. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with social media platforms. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to multiple related news and corporate sites under the Antaranews brand.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No explicit incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism may expose the site to compliance risks in certain jurisdictions. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of reputable analytics and advertising platforms is noted, but care should be taken to ensure these do not compromise user privacy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with clear opportunities for enhancement in headers, incident response readiness, and privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit incident response and security contact information, including a security.txt file, to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations, ensuring user consent for tracking and cookies.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential weaknesses proactively.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Owl Carousel for interactive content sliders, and LazySizes for optimized image loading. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for user behavior tracking and marketing analytics. The site loads with moderate performance, benefiting from image lazy loading and CDN-hosted assets. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data in JSON-LD format. However, no CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for modernization and compliance improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and content-rich user experience with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
