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 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Liputan6.com operates as an advertising-supported media platform within the Indonesian market, leveraging a large content portfolio and multimedia formats to attract a wide audience. Its parent company, KLY, supports its digital ecosystem. The business model focuses on content monetization through ads and partnerships. The site’s extensive use of analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to audience engagement and revenue optimization. The presence of multiple content channels and special coverage areas suggests a diversified content strategy. The lack of direct contact information on the main site is typical for large media portals, relying on corporate channels for business inquiries. The website’s strong brand recognition and consistent design reinforce its market leadership. Strategic partnerships and subdomains like enamplus.liputan6.com expand its service offerings.

Security posture

Liputan6.com demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, Content Security Policy, and controlled script loading via Google Tag Manager. The site avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML and uses reputable third-party analytics and advertising services. However, the absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting compliance with data protection regulations. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance defenses and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and advertising tags to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all audiences.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Adsense integrated for analytics and monetization. It employs JSON-LD structured data for SEO and rich snippets. The site is built on a custom or proprietary CMS platform, optimized for desktop and mobile with responsive design. Performance is moderate, with extensive advertising and tracking scripts that may impact load times. DNS and hosting details are not explicitly available, but the use of Akamai CDN assets suggests a robust content delivery infrastructure. The site uses Google Fonts and Material Icons for UI consistency. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility 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.
