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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Ingroup's market positioning as a multi-brand media and communication group provides competitive advantages through diversified service offerings and targeted regional reach. The business model leverages specialized subsidiaries to cover advertising, media publishing, distribution, and broadcasting, catering primarily to professional and corporate clients. Revenue streams likely include advertising sales, media distribution contracts, and digital marketing services. The presence of active news updates and social media integration indicates ongoing engagement and growth orientation. Partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly delineated, supporting a strong ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance security transparency and expand direct contact information to improve client trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security baseline with enforced HTTPS, spam protection via Google reCAPTCHA, and a comprehensive cookie consent framework aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts and plugins necessitates ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations to mitigate risks further.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and enhance trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize exposure to known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using up-to-date plugins like Yoast SEO and Consent Magic Pro, ensuring good SEO and privacy compliance. It employs contemporary JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and Anime.js for interactive UI elements and uses dotLottie for animations, indicating a focus on engaging user experience. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in accessibility and security headers. The site is mobile-optimized and structured with semantic HTML and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine understanding. Technical risks are minimal but include potential dependency on third-party scripts and the need for improved security header implementation.
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.
