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

비즈니스포스트 is a well-established Korean economic media company founded in 2013, providing business news, corporate profiles, and economic insights primarily targeting Korean-speaking business professionals and investors. The website is professionally designed with a consistent brand presence and offers a broad range of content including articles, interviews, and forums. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user tracking, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure. The site is accessible, moderately performant, and has basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business identity, supporting high legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

6 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 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

The company operates in the media sector with a focus on economic and business news in South Korea. Its business model revolves around online news publishing monetized through advertising and sponsored content. The site links to several partner domains indicating a networked ecosystem of related media and forums. The company maintains clear contact information and legal registration, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include active content updates and engagement with business and economic topics relevant to Korean markets. The partnership ecosystem includes financial forums and specialized economic journals, supporting its market positioning as a trusted economic news source.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and advertising scripts, which may increase the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, privacy compliance mechanisms, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner and privacy compliance tools to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Review and minimize third-party scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve performance.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices.

  2. WHOIS data is fully transparent and consistent with the website's business identity.
  3. No security blocking or WAF challenges detected; site content is fully accessible.
  4. No explicit privacy or cookie consent mechanisms detected, which may be a compliance gap.
  5. Use of multiple analytics and advertising scripts indicates moderate user tracking.
  6. No explicit security headers detected; opportunity for security posture improvement.
  7. Mobile optimization is basic but present with a dedicated mobile site.
  8. Content is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable material.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and tracking. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS nameservers. The site employs lazy loading for images to improve performance. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Mobile optimization is basic with a separate mobile site. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. There is no evidence of modern frontend frameworks or CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal. Technical debt appears low but security best practices could be improved.
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.
