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

和讯网 is a leading Chinese financial news and information platform established in 1996, operated by Beijing Hexun Online Information Consulting Co., Ltd. It offers comprehensive financial news, market data, investment education, and live broadcasts targeting middle-class investors and finance professionals. The website holds multiple official licenses and certifications, reinforcing its legitimacy and market position as a trusted source for financial information in China. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including jQuery and asynchronous JavaScript calls, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, though lacking some advanced security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces trust but is common for large enterprises. Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy for its target audience.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

    • 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

The business operates primarily in the finance and media sectors, providing news, market data, and financial product promotion. Its business model revolves around content monetization, advertising, and financial services partnerships. The platform targets Chinese middle-class investors and finance professionals, offering services such as live expert broadcasts, investment courses, and curated stock recommendations. The extensive network of partner domains and certifications indicates a mature ecosystem with strong market presence. The company benefits from a large user base and diversified content offerings, positioning it as a key player in China's financial information market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not found, which could impact user trust and regulatory compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a clear cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate commitment to security and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, leveraging jQuery and JSONP for dynamic content loading. It integrates multiple external APIs and analytics services such as Baidu Analytics and CNZZ. The site is moderately performant with asynchronous script loading and some caching. Mobile optimization is good, with mobile-specific meta tags and responsive design elements. However, no modern frontend frameworks or CMS platforms were detected, suggesting a custom or legacy implementation. The site could benefit from modernization to improve maintainability and scalability. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of multiple hexun.com subdomains indicates internal hosting or CDN usage.
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.
