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

The website dlhsumaterautara.id serves as the official online presence of the Environmental Agency of North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. It provides public information including news, announcements, documents, and contact details relevant to environmental management in the region. The site targets residents and stakeholders within North Sumatra and operates as a government public service platform. The domain registration aligns with the website's launch year, indicating a new but legitimate government initiative. Technically, the website employs a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts, with Cloudflare DNS services. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. However, it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features, and no CMS or backend platform is explicitly identified. From a security perspective, HTTPS is properly implemented, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of domain security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which impacts compliance with data protection standards. Overall, the website is trustworthy and safe for general audiences, with no adult or explicit content detected. The lack of privacy and cookie policies and some security best practices lowers the overall security and compliance score. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance the site's security posture and user trust.

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 Environmental Agency of North Sumatra Province operates as a government entity providing environmental governance and public information services. Its market position is that of an official provincial agency, with a business model centered on public service rather than commercial revenue. The website supports transparency and public engagement through news updates, document sharing, and contact channels. The extensive list of related domains indicates a broad partnership ecosystem with other regional environmental agencies across Indonesia. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. The agency's operations focus on environmental management, targeting local residents, government officials, and environmental stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers exposes potential risks such as DNS spoofing and clickjacking. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and similar regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but requires enhancements to meet modern security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Add incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, Font Awesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via Cloudflare, indicating some level of performance and security optimization. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-friendly. However, no CMS or backend platform is identified, which may indicate a custom or static site. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or marketing tools. The site could benefit from improved SEO meta tags and accessibility compliance to enhance discoverability and usability.
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.
