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

2 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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 Daily Telegraph holds a significant market position as a leading Australian news publisher with a large audience base. Its business model combines digital subscriptions and advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with rewards and sports tipping platforms. The site targets general Australian consumers interested in news and sports, offering localized content and live sports streaming. The integration of affiliate programs and advertising networks indicates diversified revenue streams. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies on the analyzed page suggests areas for improvement in transparency and user trust. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and consistent digital branding, reinforcing its competitive advantage in the media sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and the presence of key security headers. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. The use of asynchronous loading for scripts and integration of reputable third-party services further enhances security and performance. However, the lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page, indicates gaps in compliance and incident response readiness. The site would benefit from enhanced transparency regarding data protection practices and clearer channels for security incident reporting to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all audiences.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide explicit contact information for security and privacy inquiries to strengthen transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The Daily Telegraph website is built on a WordPress CMS with a custom News Corp Australia theme, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. The site leverages multiple analytics and advertising technologies, including Google Tag Manager, Prebid.js, Amazon A9, and Chartbeat, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. Hosting appears to be managed via News Corp's CDN and Akamai, supporting fast content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of fonts and assets. While performance is moderate, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO by adding more explicit metadata and compliance features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and scalable media platform.
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.
