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 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 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

KG Media's market positioning as Indonesia's leading media group is supported by its extensive portfolio of media brands and digital assets. The business model focuses on content creation, digital marketing, and advertising services targeting Indonesian consumers and corporate clients. The company benefits from strong brand recognition, a professional leadership team, and active sustainability initiatives. Its partnership ecosystem includes multiple subsidiary domains and sustainability-focused projects, indicating strategic growth and diversification. KG Media's revenue streams likely derive from advertising, subscriptions, and marketing solutions. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with clear business focus and market leadership.

Security posture

KG Media demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. The use of asynchronous loading for analytics and tag management scripts supports performance and security. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. No cookie consent mechanism was found, which may impact privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving privacy controls to meet international standards such as GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to enhance privacy compliance.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Develop and publish terms of service to clarify legal usage and user rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including YouTube IFrame API for video embedding, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and popular JavaScript libraries like AOS for animations and Swiper.js for sliders. The site loads scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility. The technical implementation supports a professional and engaging user experience aligned with KG Media's business goals.
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.
