Kompas.tv is a prominent Indonesian media portal operated by PT.CIPTA MEGASWARA TELEVISI, offering comprehensive news coverage and video content across national, regional, international, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle categories. The website serves a broad Indonesian audience seeking timely and reliable news, supported by a strong brand presence and multiple related media properties.

Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS with appropriate security headers and script nonce usage, though it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy transparency and contact information to improve user trust and regulatory compliance.

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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.tv holds a strong market position as a leading Indonesian media outlet with a diversified content portfolio and multiple sister sites under the Kompas brand. Its business model revolves around digital advertising revenue, video streaming, and news dissemination. The presence of numerous ad networks and tracking services indicates a monetization strategy focused on programmatic advertising and user profiling. The target customers are Indonesian news consumers interested in a wide range of topics. The company benefits from a well-established brand and partnership ecosystem, including several related media domains. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and integration of new digital services like Learning Hub and Lestari. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to strengthen privacy compliance and direct user engagement channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and nonce attributes on scripts to mitigate injection risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of security or incident response contact information, represents compliance gaps. The extensive use of third-party ad and tracking scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks that require ongoing monitoring. The site does not appear to implement a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program, which could enhance its security culture and incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by formalizing privacy and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR.
  3. Add explicit security and incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  4. Consider deploying a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Prebid.js for header bidding, multiple ad networks, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Hotjar. It uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for UI consistency and loads content via CDN providers like Cloudfront. The site is optimized for desktop and mobile with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and ad request timeouts configured. Technical debt appears low, but reliance on numerous third-party scripts requires vigilant security and privacy management. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility further and to document technical and security policies more explicitly.
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.
