DetikInet is a technology news portal operating as a subdomain of the well-established Indonesian media brand Detikcom. It provides comprehensive coverage of technology, gadgets, cyberlife, games, and related topics targeted at a general Indonesian audience. The website leverages a mature advertising-based business model with multiple ad networks and tracking technologies integrated for monetization and analytics. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and ad serving technologies hosted likely on AWS infrastructure, delivering a good user experience with responsive design and SEO optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are not detected in the provided content.

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

5 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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

DetikInet benefits from the strong brand recognition of Detikcom, Indonesia's leading online news portal. Its market positioning as a technology-focused news source allows it to target tech-savvy consumers and advertisers interested in this segment. The business model relies heavily on advertising revenue, supported by extensive use of Google Adsense, DoubleClick, and programmatic ad platforms. The site also integrates social media channels to extend reach and engagement. Partnerships within the Detik Network enhance content diversity and cross-promotion. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and specialized sections like Gadget of the Month and Lab Gadget. The company maintains a large-scale operation with a broad content offering and a consistent brand presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and use of Google Tag Manager to control script loading. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries are detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of visible security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy in the HTML snapshot suggests these may be set at the server level or could be improved. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced security governance. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options if not already implemented server-side.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks to minimize tracking footprint and potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a robust technical infrastructure with a combination of jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Adsense, Prebid.js for programmatic advertising, and Revive Adserver. Assets are served primarily from AWS CDN domains, indicating cloud hosting and content delivery optimization. The site is designed for desktop and mobile platforms with responsive elements and SEO-friendly meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some heavy ad scripts but overall good user experience. There is room for improvement in accessibility and explicit security header implementation. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a large-scale media operation.
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.
