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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 holds a strong market position within Lithuania's media sector, leveraging a modern Drupal 10 CMS infrastructure and integrating multiple advertising and analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Gemius, and Adform. The presence of subscription services and regional portals indicates a diversified revenue stream and a well-established customer base. Partnerships with regional news portals and service sites enhance its ecosystem and market reach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements multiple security headers, reflecting a mature security posture. Consent management for cookies is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, representing areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit contact channels for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and advertising tags to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Clarify data retention policies and enhance privacy disclosures to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website utilizes a modern and scalable Drupal 10 CMS platform with Commerce 2 for subscription management. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and advertising technologies, including Google Analytics, Gemius, Microsoft Clarity, and Adform. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, supporting a good user experience. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times due to multiple external scripts. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data.
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.
