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

Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kota Semarang is a government environmental agency responsible for managing environmental affairs in Semarang city, Indonesia. The website serves as an official portal providing information about the agency's structure, mission, and public services such as business permits, environmental impact assessments, and public reporting. The site targets the general public and stakeholders interested in environmental governance. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google Fonts, with Cloudflare DNS services. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and important security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which impacts compliance. The domain WHOIS data shows an anomalous future creation date, which may be a data error but slightly reduces trust. Overall, the website is a credible government resource with room for improvement in security and privacy compliance.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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 agency operates as a local government entity providing environmental management services. Its business model is public service funded by government budgets. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a clear focus on environmental governance and public engagement. The extensive list of related external domains indicates a broad network of sister agencies and related government bodies. The lack of commercial advertising or tracking tools aligns with its government service nature. The site’s content and structure support transparency and accessibility for citizens and businesses. Growth indicators include digital presence and service listings, but no e-commerce or revenue streams are evident. Strategic observations suggest enhancing digital security and privacy policies to align with modern governance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status clientTransferProhibited helps prevent unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes potential risks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security management. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the content. The domain WHOIS inconsistency is a minor concern but does not indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS resolution and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  3. Deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Review and correct domain WHOIS registration data to reflect accurate creation date.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies and uses Cloudflare for DNS management, which provides some protection and performance benefits. The site is mobile responsive and uses lazy loading for images to optimize performance. However, no modern web frameworks or CMS platforms were detected, suggesting a custom or legacy system. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but minimal. Accessibility features are limited but functional. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and security headers, which could be addressed to improve resilience. The large number of external links to related government domains indicates a well-connected ecosystem but requires monitoring for link integrity.
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.
