Risk levelMedium

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

Zong is a leading telecommunications provider in Pakistan, offering a wide range of prepaid, postpaid, business, and value-added services with a strong focus on 4G data coverage. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive service offerings and a consistent brand aligned with its parent company, China Mobile. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and tracking technologies but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support. This exposes users to potential risks and undermines trust. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent mechanisms or explicit GDPR indicators. Overall, while the business and content quality are strong, the security posture requires urgent improvement to protect users and enhance credibility.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Zong operates in the Pakistani telecommunications sector as a large enterprise with a strong market position as the number one 4G data network. Its business model includes consumer and business segments, offering mobile voice, data, IoT, and international roaming services. The company leverages partnerships for online marketplaces and customer engagement tools. The website's extensive use of tracking pixels and advertising networks indicates a focus on digital marketing and user analytics. However, the lack of visible security and privacy policies suggests potential compliance risks. The company benefits from a strong brand presence and social media engagement but should enhance transparency and data protection to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability. While some security headers are present, the SSL/TLS configuration is non-existent, with no modern protocols or cipher suites enabled. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, and privacy compliance is minimal. The extensive use of third-party tracking pixels increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Immediate remediation is required to implement HTTPS, improve TLS configurations, and establish clear security policies to protect users and comply with regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Implement modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and strong cipher suites to secure communications.
  3. Add a comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and local regulations.
  4. Publish clear security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure guidelines.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy risks and improve transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Snap Pixel. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security services, though SSL is not properly configured. Performance metrics are missing but inferred as slow due to zero load time and resource count data. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported with meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt is indicated by outdated SSL configuration and lack of cookie consent. Modernization efforts should focus on security hardening and performance optimization.
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.
