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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Kurir.rs holds a strong market position as a leading Serbian news portal with a diversified content offering across multiple sectors such as politics, sports, entertainment, and business. Its business model relies on advertising revenue, supported by integration with major ad networks and tracking services. The presence of multiple branded subsidiaries indicates strategic content segmentation to capture different audience niches. The company maintains active social media channels to enhance reach and engagement. The domain age and consistent WHOIS data reinforce its credibility. However, the absence of explicit privacy and terms of service pages may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. The partnership with other media sites like espreso.co.rs suggests a collaborative ecosystem within the Serbian media market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and ad networks, which may introduce privacy and security risks if not properly managed. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing best practices and enhancing transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main site.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publish a security policy including incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

Kurir.rs employs a modern technology stack centered around Nuxt.js, a Vue.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and improved performance. The site integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Gemius, Chartbeat), advertising (Google DoubleClick, Rubicon Project, Amazon A9), and user engagement (CleverPush). The use of localStorage and cookies for tracking is evident, with a consent mechanism in place. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of fonts and scripts to enhance performance. However, some performance optimizations could be further improved, and accessibility features are basic. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and scalable media platform but should focus on security enhancements and privacy compliance.
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.
