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

Gramedia.com is the largest and most trusted online bookstore in Indonesia, operated by PT Gramedia Asri Media. The website offers a comprehensive catalog of books and related products, targeting Indonesian consumers interested in literature and educational materials. The business model is e-commerce retail with a strong emphasis on official stores and promotional campaigns. The company maintains a significant market position as a leading book retailer in the region. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, incorporating various analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Hotjar, TikTok Pixel, and Facebook Pixel. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with a well-structured and professional design. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs standard security headers, reflecting a solid security posture. However, the absence of a visible cookie consent mechanism and explicit security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement in privacy compliance and transparency. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but is mitigated by the company's established market presence and consistent branding. Overall, Gramedia.com is a credible and professionally managed e-commerce platform with a strong business foundation and good technical implementation. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen its trustworthiness and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

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

Gramedia.com operates as a dominant player in Indonesia's online book retail market, leveraging a broad product range and official store partnerships to maintain competitive advantage. The business benefits from a loyal customer base and extensive digital presence, including mobile applications and active social media channels. Revenue streams primarily derive from direct online sales and affiliate programs. The company targets a diverse demographic of readers and learners across Indonesia, supported by localized content and promotions. Growth indicators include continuous website updates, integration of advanced analytics, and expansion of digital services such as eBooks. Partnerships with major app stores and marketing platforms enhance reach and customer engagement. The business ecosystem is robust, with a focus on customer service and brand consistency.

Security posture

The security maturity of Gramedia.com is solid, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented to protect against common web vulnerabilities. The site avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML and uses secure forms for user input. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response plan, and absence of a vulnerability disclosure program, represent gaps in comprehensive security governance. The extensive use of third-party tracking and marketing scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but not fully transparent, especially regarding cookie consent. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible and compliant cookie consent banner to meet privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response information on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Gramedia.com utilizes a modern web technology stack centered on React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved SEO. The integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools demonstrates a mature digital marketing strategy. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. The site is mobile-optimized and responsive, providing a good user experience across devices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or headless architecture. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the use of CDN and static asset hosting indicates a scalable infrastructure. Technical risks include reliance on numerous third-party scripts which require vigilant security management.
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.
