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

The website www.bpn.ge is a Georgian language online media platform focused on delivering business and economic news, including financial updates and international news. It targets Georgian-speaking business professionals and the general public interested in economic developments. The site features a modern technical infrastructure built on Vue.js and integrates multiple third-party analytics and advertising services such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, AdOcean, and Admixer. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices with well-implemented meta and Open Graph tags. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with a CSRF token present, but lacks explicit security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces domain trustworthiness, but the site content and technical setup appear professional and legitimate. Overall, the site scores moderately well in content quality, technical implementation, and security posture but falls short in privacy compliance and business credibility due to missing contact and policy information.

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 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 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

BPN.ge operates as a local Georgian business news media outlet providing timely articles and updates on economic and financial matters. Its business model revolves around content publishing monetized through advertising networks such as AdOcean and Admixer. The platform leverages partnerships with major analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and ad targeting. The absence of explicit company information and contact details limits transparency but the consistent branding and quality content suggest a medium-sized media entity. The site’s audience is primarily Georgian-speaking professionals and individuals interested in business news. Growth potential exists through enhanced privacy compliance and direct user engagement channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and a CSRF token is embedded, indicating awareness of common web security practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security is a notable gap. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The site lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for mature security governance and compliance with regulations like GDPR. The extensive use of third-party scripts and trackers increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy policies, and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts to facilitate communication and transparency.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans, especially focusing on third-party scripts and advertising integrations.
  5. Consider WHOIS data privacy and transparency balance; if privacy protection is used, provide alternative trust signals on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily Vue.js for frontend rendering, supported by Video.js for media playback. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook SDK, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. Advertising is managed through networks like AdOcean and Admixer, with embedded iframes and scripts for monetization. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses meta tags effectively for SEO. Performance is moderate, with some deferred script loading and asynchronous analytics. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and security header implementation.
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.
