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

Kompas.id is a prominent Indonesian digital news platform offering comprehensive coverage across various domains including politics, economy, sports, and international news. The platform operates on a subscription-based model providing premium content to its audience. It targets Indonesian readers seeking quality journalism and up-to-date news. The website demonstrates a professional design with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting a good user experience. Technically, Kompas.id leverages modern web frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, and integrates multiple analytics and advertising technologies to optimize performance and marketing efforts. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and employs several security best practices, though there is room for improvement in implementing comprehensive security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible privacy and terms of service documentation in the provided content. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business profile, indicating a legitimate and established media entity.

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

Kompas.id holds a strong market position as a leading digital news provider in Indonesia, leveraging a subscription revenue model to monetize premium content. Its ecosystem includes related partner domains such as reward programs and educational institutes, enhancing user engagement and brand reach. The business targets a broad demographic of news consumers interested in national and international affairs. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools suggests a data-driven approach to audience growth and retention. While the site lacks explicit public-facing security and privacy policies, its operational scale and technology adoption reflect a mature digital media business with potential for further compliance enhancements.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. It integrates multiple third-party scripts for analytics and advertising, which necessitates ongoing vulnerability management. The absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement to mitigate risks like clickjacking and protocol downgrade attacks. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly evident, which could impact transparency and readiness. Enhancing these areas would strengthen the overall security maturity and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main site.
  3. Establish and disclose incident response procedures and security contact channels.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

Kompas.id is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack with Nuxt.js and Vue.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved SEO. The site uses Google Fonts and integrates multiple analytics and marketing platforms such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Chartbeat, Microsoft Clarity, and MoEngage. Advertising is managed via Google DoubleClick and Twitter Ads. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and responsive design. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize page load times. However, the site could benefit from further optimization in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the use of Google services and CDN assets suggests a robust infrastructure.
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.
