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

Hírkereső.hu is a Hungarian news aggregator portal providing fresh news updates from multiple Hungarian and international news sources. The website offers categorized news, weather forecasts, horoscopes, blogs, and recipes, targeting a general Hungarian audience interested in current events. It holds a significant market position as one of the largest news portals in Hungary. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and Google Analytics for tracking. Mobile optimization is basic with a dedicated mobile site. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service pages. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating some GDPR awareness. No direct contact or security incident response information is provided. Overall, the site is functional, content-rich, and trustworthy but could improve in privacy transparency and security best practices.

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.

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 website operates as a news aggregator, pulling content from numerous partner news sites, which are mostly Hungarian media outlets. It monetizes likely through advertising and affiliate links embedded in news items. The target audience is Hungarian-speaking internet users seeking consolidated news. The business model relies on aggregating and linking to external news content rather than original reporting. The site demonstrates consistent branding and a moderate size with a focus on media sector. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The presence of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates active marketing and user behavior tracking. The lack of explicit contact details or privacy policies suggests room for maturity in compliance and user trust.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communication. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The cookie consent mechanism is present, but no detailed privacy policy or data protection officer information is found, indicating partial GDPR compliance. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is standard but requires monitoring for privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including email and phone for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It leverages Google Fonts and Google Analytics for styling and analytics respectively. The site structure is modular with categorized news boxes and uses asynchronous script loading for performance. Mobile optimization is basic with an alternate mobile site link. No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in SEO and accessibility. The site lacks modern security headers and detailed metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data for SEO enhancement. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
