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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention glavred.net, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for glavred.net right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 as a trusted Ukrainian news source with a medium-sized operation. It leverages multiple content formats such as articles, videos, and opinion pieces to engage its audience. The presence of verified social media channels and editorial policies enhances credibility. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm long-term stability and legitimacy. Advertising is integrated through reputable networks, supporting revenue streams. The partnership with related domains like glavred.info expands reach and language accessibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor security gap. Security headers are partially implemented, and third-party scripts are used for analytics and advertising, which require ongoing monitoring. The absence of a public incident response contact or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site follows good security practices appropriate for a media outlet.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising networks for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Cloudflare DNS/CDN, Bootstrap framework, and multiple analytics platforms including Google Tag Manager, Matomo, and Gemius. The site is mobile-responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with lazy loading implemented for images. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The site uses multiple preconnect and dns-prefetch hints to optimize resource loading. There is some technical debt in the form of missing DNSSEC and partial security headers, but overall the infrastructure supports stable and scalable operations.
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.
