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

B92 is a prominent Serbian media company operating an online news portal, radio, and TV station. It provides up-to-date news covering politics, society, business, sports, health, travel, automobiles, and IT. The website targets a general audience in Serbia and the surrounding region, positioning itself as a leading source of news and media content. The business model is primarily advertising-driven, leveraging multiple ad networks and analytics platforms to monetize content. The brand is well-established with consistent branding and a professional online presence. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Gemius analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and various advertising platforms such as Google Ad Manager and AdOcean. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and basic accessibility features. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring a consent management platform and clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, indicating a good security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security.txt file and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management transparency. Overall, the website is a professional, trustworthy media outlet with a mature digital infrastructure. The main risk lies in the lack of publicly available WHOIS data, which reduces transparency about domain ownership. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and contacts, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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

9 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 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

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

B92 operates in the media sector as a major Serbian news provider with a diversified content offering across digital, radio, and TV platforms. Its competitive advantage lies in its brand recognition, comprehensive news coverage, and multi-channel distribution. Revenue streams are primarily advertising-based, supported by partnerships with multiple ad networks and tracking services. The target customer segments include general Serbian-speaking audiences interested in current affairs, sports, business, and lifestyle content. Growth indicators include extensive use of analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and monetization. The partnership ecosystem includes major ad and analytics providers, enhancing its market reach and operational capabilities. The company demonstrates strategic digital maturity but could benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and security disclosures.

Security posture

The security maturity of B92's website is good, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The presence of a consent management platform indicates compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits external reporting of security issues. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published contacts. The use of numerous third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security posture is solid for a media website but could be enhanced by formalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate security risks.
  5. Maintain transparency in domain registration information to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and diverse technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Gemius analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and multiple advertising platforms such as Google Ad Manager and AdOcean. The site is mobile-optimized and employs standard SEO best practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on multiple third-party scripts which may impact load times. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement formal security disclosures.
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.
