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

Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kota Medan operates as the official government environmental agency for Medan city, Indonesia, focusing on environmental management, waste handling, pollution control, and community engagement. The website serves as an information portal for residents and stakeholders, providing news, services, and contact information. The domain is newly registered in 2024, consistent with the agency's digital presence. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Laravel Livewire, Swiper.js, and FontAwesome, hosted with Cloudflare DNS and registered via NameCheap. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks important security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, indicating full accessibility. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security headers, privacy compliance improvements, and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to strengthen its security and compliance posture.

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. 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. 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';…

  3. 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

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 holds a strong position as a local government entity responsible for environmental stewardship in Medan. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on public environmental services such as waste management, permits, and public complaints. The website targets local residents, government officials, and environmental stakeholders. The presence of visitor statistics and social media links indicates engagement efforts. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests room for compliance improvement. The agency's operations appear transparent and aligned with government mandates, with no suspicious or conflicting information detected.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS and domain transfer lock in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security management. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the analyzed content. Overall, security practices are adequate but could be significantly improved to meet modern standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and local compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack leveraging Laravel Livewire for reactive components, Swiper.js for sliders, and CountUp.js for animated counters. It uses external font hosting from fonts.bunny.net and icon fonts from FontAwesome via CDN. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, providing some level of DNS resilience. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. Accessibility is basic, suggesting opportunities to enhance ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is basic with canonical tags and meta viewport but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags.
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.
