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

The website dlhsulawesiutara.id serves as the official online portal for the Dinas Lingkungan Hidup (Environmental Agency) of the Sulawesi Utara province in Indonesia. It provides environmental news, public announcements, documents, and contact information aimed at residents and stakeholders interested in environmental governance. The site is positioned as a government information hub with a medium organizational size and a focus on public service. Technically, the site uses common web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Font Awesome, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services, and supports HTTPS for secure communications. However, it lacks advanced DNS security features like DNSSEC and does not implement security headers, which could be improved to enhance security posture. The WHOIS data presents inconsistencies, notably a future domain creation date and a registrant that is a registrar company rather than the government entity, which lowers trustworthiness but does not necessarily indicate malicious intent. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating a gap in compliance with modern privacy standards. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and safe for general audiences but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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. 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 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

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 within the government sector, specifically environmental management for the Sulawesi Utara province. It acts as a communication channel for environmental policies, news, and public engagement. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on information dissemination rather than commercial activities. The extensive list of related domains suggests a broad network of regional environmental agencies, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The site targets local residents, government officials, and environmental stakeholders. Growth indicators include regular news updates and document sharing. The partnership ecosystem is evident through numerous linked regional environmental domains. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved domain registration transparency and enhanced privacy compliance to strengthen credibility and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, which helps prevent unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security incidents effectively. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in DNS security, header implementation, and privacy compliance to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Establish and publish incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve security incident handling.
  5. Regularly audit and update website technologies and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, Font Awesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. It employs Owl Carousel for sliders. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS services but without DNSSEC enabled. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive layout and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts or errors observed. The WHOIS data inconsistency regarding domain creation date suggests a need for verification and possible correction. No CMS is explicitly detected, indicating a custom or static site build. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
