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

www.Pikiran-Rakyat.com is a prominent Indonesian national media outlet providing a wide range of news content including national, regional, entertainment, sports, technology, and lifestyle. It operates a large network of regional subdomains, positioning itself as a trusted and independent news source in Indonesia. The website demonstrates a solid digital presence with a professional design, good content quality, and consistent branding. Technically, the site uses a mix of legacy and modern web technologies including jQuery, lazy loading, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user tracking. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and some security headers present, though there is room for improvement in advanced security configurations. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy verification, though the website content and social media presence support its credibility. Overall, the site is a well-established media platform with moderate technical maturity and a good security baseline.

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 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 SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 serves a large Indonesian audience interested in current affairs and regional news, leveraging a network of localized subdomains to expand reach. Its business model is primarily advertising-driven, utilizing Google AdSense and related ad technologies. The strong social media integration and frequent content updates indicate active engagement strategies. The lack of visible direct contact information and privacy policies suggests potential areas for trust and compliance enhancement. The domain's missing WHOIS data could be due to privacy protection or registry issues, which slightly detracts from trust but does not negate the site's established market presence. The company appears to be a key player in Indonesian media with a broad content portfolio and regional influence.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS and uses nonce attributes in scripts to mitigate injection risks. Security headers like Cache-Control and Pragma are present, but critical headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS are missing, which could improve protection against XSS and downgrade attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of privacy regulations, though explicit privacy and incident response policies are absent. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by implementing additional headers and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and HTTP Strict Transport Security headers to enhance security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for transparency.
  4. Conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet international standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of legacy JavaScript libraries (jQuery 1.12.0) and modern performance optimizations such as lazy loading images and asynchronous script loading. Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity are employed for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and Open Graph data for SEO and social media sharing. However, the use of older jQuery versions may pose security risks and technical debt. Performance is moderate with some optimizations in place. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
