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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Newton Media holds a solid market position as a specialized media monitoring and analysis service provider targeting businesses and organizations requiring media insights. Its business model revolves around subscription or service-based offerings, supported by a network of subsidiaries in neighboring countries. The company leverages digital tools for analytics and marketing, indicating a data-driven approach. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly to manage client interactions professionally. The partnership ecosystem includes regional subsidiaries and technology affiliates, supporting a broad service delivery footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS and reCaptcha integration. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact emails and phone numbers to facilitate client communication and support.

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.
