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

雷峰网 is a well-established Chinese technology news and media platform founded in 2011, operated by 深圳英鹏信息技术股份有限公司. It provides comprehensive coverage of intelligent technology, AI, smart hardware, and related industry news, positioning itself as a leading and influential media outlet in the Chinese tech sector. The website offers various services including news articles, special topics, open courses, and event information, targeting technology professionals and enthusiasts. Technically, the site uses common web technologies such as jQuery and seajs, with mobile optimization via a dedicated mobile subdomain. Analytics are primarily handled through Baidu and CNZZ services. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and user email verification mechanisms, though it lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the site shows strong legitimacy through official certifications and consistent branding.

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 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

    • 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

雷峰网 holds a strong market position as a representative and influential technology media platform in China. Its business model revolves around content creation, industry analysis, and community engagement through open courses and events. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a network of related domains and partner sites. The target audience includes technology professionals, AI developers, and industry stakeholders. The platform's content quality and professional presentation support its credibility and growth potential. However, the absence of transparent WHOIS data and formal privacy disclosures are areas for improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and user account email verification prompts. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a media platform but could be improved with additional best practices and formal disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide explicit security incident response contact information or a vulnerability disclosure policy.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Improve transparency by publishing WHOIS data or justifying privacy protection measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack with jQuery and seajs for JavaScript module loading. It integrates Baidu and CNZZ analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile optimized with a dedicated mobile subdomain and uses lazy loading for images to improve performance. SEO is supported with meta tags and canonical links. However, no modern frontend frameworks or CMS platforms were detected. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
