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

კვირის პალიტრა is a well-established Georgian news media website founded in 2014, offering a wide range of news articles, blogs, and video content across multiple categories such as politics, society, economy, and culture. The site targets Georgian-speaking audiences interested in current affairs and cultural topics. It operates primarily on an advertising-supported model with subscription options for premium content. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js, integrates multiple advertising and analytics services, and uses HTTPS for secure communication. However, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and CSRF tokens but does not implement comprehensive security headers or publish a security policy. Overall, the website is functional, professionally designed, and content-rich but would benefit from improved privacy and security transparency.

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

5 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 website holds a strong position in the Georgian media market, serving a broad audience with diverse content. Its revenue streams include advertising via multiple ad networks and subscription fees. The presence of partner domains and embedded content from local media and service providers indicates a well-integrated ecosystem. The business model focuses on content monetization through ads and subscriptions, targeting general news consumers and niche audiences interested in politics, culture, and social issues. Growth indicators include active content updates and multimedia integration. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance trust through clearer privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and CSRF protection in place. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is published, and there is no vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. The extensive use of third-party advertising and tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the site should improve its security posture and transparency to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Conduct a security audit of third-party scripts and reduce unnecessary tracking to minimize privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clearer contact information to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) and integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, Hotjar, and various ad networks. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design. Performance is moderate, with some potential overhead from multiple ad scripts. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The site uses HTTPS with valid certificates and includes CSRF tokens for form security. However, the absence of key security headers and privacy mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. The site architecture supports rich multimedia content and dynamic user interaction, but technical debt may exist in managing numerous external dependencies.
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.
