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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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 positioned as a major international news outlet with a focus on Spanish-speaking markets, particularly Latin America. It leverages the brand strength of Sputnik and its parent organization MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“. The content strategy includes timely news updates, multimedia, and social media engagement to attract and retain a broad audience. Revenue streams likely include advertising and sponsored content. The presence of multiple social media channels and Telegram groups indicates a strong digital ecosystem. The business benefits from the backing of a large state-affiliated media entity, which supports its market presence and content production capabilities. However, the geopolitical nature of the content and origin may influence audience perception and trust in certain regions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts is extensive but includes reputable services. There is no explicit security policy or incident response information published, which is a gap in transparency. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits external security engagement. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a modern front-end stack including asynchronous JavaScript loading and responsive design. It integrates multiple analytics and advertising platforms, balancing monetization and user tracking. Performance is moderate, with CDN usage for images and scripts. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. The site is mobile-optimized and supports multiple languages and regional versions. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content.
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.
