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

Настоящее Время is a Russian-language news media website providing news, reports, and documentaries focused on Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Central Asia. It offers a variety of content including live broadcasts, investigative journalism, and video reports, targeting a general audience interested in regional current affairs. The site demonstrates a moderate to good level of digital maturity with a proprietary CMS, multiple analytics and marketing integrations, and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, and no contact information is provided, which impacts privacy compliance and business credibility. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain ownership verification and trustworthiness assessment. Overall, the site is professional and content-rich but would benefit from improved transparency and compliance documentation.

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 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

    • 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 website operates in the media sector, focusing on news dissemination and video content production. It targets audiences in Russia and neighboring countries, providing timely and regionally relevant information. The business model is content-driven, likely supported by advertising and possibly grants or sponsorships given the investigative and documentary nature. The site maintains a consistent brand presence across multiple social media platforms, enhancing reach and engagement. Lack of WHOIS data and contact details may be due to privacy or regulatory reasons but could affect trust with partners and users. The platform uses advanced analytics and marketing tools, indicating a data-driven approach to audience engagement and monetization.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes several security best practices such as asynchronous loading of scripts and no exposed sensitive data. However, there is no evidence of a Content Security Policy or security.txt file, and no explicit incident response or security policy information is provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and lack of contact channels for security incidents represent compliance gaps. The extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts and general business inquiries.
  4. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a proprietary CMS tailored for media content, with a modern tech stack including JavaScript frameworks and integration with major analytics and marketing platforms such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Tealium, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags, canonical URLs, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site architecture supports rich multimedia content including videos embedded from YouTube. Technical risks include reliance on multiple external scripts which may affect load times and privacy compliance.
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.
