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

Sputnik Brasil operates as a regional Portuguese-language branch of the international news agency Rossiya Segodnya, providing current news, urgent updates, and political, economic, and social analyses primarily targeting Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking audiences. The website offers multimedia content including videos and live radio streaming, positioning itself as a comprehensive news source within its market segment. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as responsive design, SVG icons, and asynchronous JavaScript loading, alongside third-party services for analytics and advertising, including Yandex Metrika and Google Tag Manager. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, reflecting GDPR adherence. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy media platform with moderate to good technical and security maturity.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

The website is part of the Sputnik News network, affiliated with MIA Rossiya Segodnya, a known international media agency. It targets Portuguese-speaking users interested in global and Brazilian news, leveraging multimedia and live content to engage its audience. The business model centers on digital news dissemination supported by advertising networks such as AdFox and Yandex Ads. The presence of multiple social media channels and structured data enhances its market visibility and SEO. While the domain WHOIS data is minimal, the use of official name servers and consistent branding supports legitimacy. The site lacks explicit terms of service and detailed security policies, which could be areas for future enhancement to strengthen business credibility and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy), and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of cookie consent tools indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The inclusion of multiple third-party scripts and advertising networks necessitates ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a media website but could be improved by formalizing security governance and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and promote a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and advertising integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with responsive images, SVG icons, and asynchronous JavaScript loading to optimize performance. It integrates multiple analytics and advertising services, including Yandex Metrika, Google Tag Manager, and AdFox, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices such as meta tags and structured data (schema.org). However, no specific CMS or hosting provider information is detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and technical documentation. The technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.
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.
