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

ICT Business is a regional media and news platform focused on the ICT sector, providing news, technology updates, business solutions, leadership insights, and telecommunications coverage. The website targets ICT professionals and business audiences interested in technology trends and industry developments. The business model is primarily content publishing and advertising-based, serving a niche market in technology and telecommunications news. The site demonstrates a consistent brand presence with good content quality and professional design. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap 5, Font Awesome 6, Google Fonts, and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, MailerLite for marketing, and advertising networks like Adform and Opads. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and technical optimizations. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. No privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected, though a cookie consent mechanism is present indicating some privacy compliance. No contact information or incident response contacts are visible, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt are implemented. The WHOIS data is privacy protected or unavailable, which is common for media sites but limits domain ownership transparency. Overall, ICT Business presents a legitimate and professional ICT news platform with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would enhance trust and compliance. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content detected.

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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

ICT Business operates as a specialized media outlet in the ICT sector, focusing on technology news, business solutions, and telecommunications. Its competitive advantage lies in regional focus and expert commentary, targeting ICT professionals and business decision-makers. Revenue streams likely include advertising and sponsored content. The partnership ecosystem includes advertising networks and marketing platforms. Growth indicators are not explicit but the use of modern marketing tools suggests active audience engagement. The business model is content-driven with a focus on digital publishing and advertising monetization.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced with good SSL configuration, but the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of visible privacy policy and incident response contacts indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and NIS2 regulations. Third-party scripts for advertising and analytics increase the attack surface and require regular auditing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the content. The site would benefit from implementing security best practices, including security headers, privacy documentation, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident and abuse contacts to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Establish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and popular frontend framework (Bootstrap 5) and iconography (Font Awesome 6), ensuring responsive design and good user experience across devices. Integration with Google Tag Manager and MailerLite indicates a mature marketing and analytics setup. Advertising scripts from Adform and Opads are embedded, which may impact performance and privacy. The site lacks explicit CMS identification but appears custom or lightly CMS-based. Performance is moderate with potential improvements in script optimization and caching. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced with ARIA roles and semantic HTML improvements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data.
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.
