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

CNBC Indonesia operates as a prominent Indonesian media outlet specializing in economic and business news, market data, and investment analysis. The website targets a general audience interested in up-to-date financial and economic information, leveraging a content-rich platform with multimedia elements such as videos and market flash updates. The site demonstrates a mature digital presence with integration of modern analytics and advertising technologies, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and multiple ad networks. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible critical vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent mechanisms present but no explicit privacy policy detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and well-structured, serving a large audience in Indonesia's media sector.

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

3 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 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 business is positioned as a leading news provider in Indonesia's economic and business sectors, offering comprehensive market data and analysis. Its business model revolves around content publishing monetized through advertising networks such as Google Adsense and DoubleClick. The target customers include investors, business professionals, and the general public interested in economic news. The presence of OAuth login integration suggests user engagement and personalized content features. The partnership ecosystem includes Detik.com and related domains, indicating a strong media network. Growth indicators include active content updates and multimedia integration. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved transparency in domain registration and enhanced privacy policy visibility.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. Use of Google Tag Manager allows controlled script deployment, reducing risk from third-party scripts. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, which could be improved to mitigate clickjacking and cross-site scripting risks. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating potential gaps in transparency. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy page to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to enhance legitimacy.
  4. Provide visible contact information including company emails and phone numbers for better business credibility.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and security policy documentation to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery 3.6.0, Swiper.js for UI components, and Google services for analytics and tag management. Advertising is managed via Google Adsense, DoubleClick, and Revive Adserver. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints to improve resource fetching. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular security audits to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
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.
