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

9 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 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

    • 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

Guokr operates in the media and technology sector, focusing on science popularization and lifestyle content. Its business model centers on content creation, community engagement, and multi-channel distribution including official WeChat accounts and social media presence on Weibo and Bilibili. The company targets technology enthusiasts and the general public interested in science and technology. The platform's moderate size and established certifications indicate a stable market presence. Partnerships with major Chinese social platforms enhance its reach. The lack of detailed financial or parent company data limits deeper business insights, but the site’s content quality and user engagement suggest a sustainable operation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the HTML content. Incident response contact is provided for reporting illegal content, but no formal vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy available but no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced headers and privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner and mechanism to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

  3. WHOIS data unavailable, limiting domain registration trust verification.

  7. Content is safe and suitable for general audiences.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies such as React and Zepto.js, with Swiper.js for interactive UI components. It integrates Google Analytics and Baidu Push for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive meta tags and viewport settings. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts loaded asynchronously to improve load times. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. SEO is supported by meta keywords and descriptions in Chinese. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust user experience but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility practices.
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.
