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

Press Manager is a Brazilian technology company specializing in software solutions for press management and communication services. Positioned as a market leader in Brazil, it offers a comprehensive SaaS platform targeting marketing departments, public agencies, press offices, communication agencies, freelancers, and journalists. The platform provides key services including press mailing, release distribution, news monitoring, and online management, supported by a strong brand presence and client trust signals. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and employs modern web technologies and SEO best practices. However, the security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of advanced security configurations, despite proper email authentication records and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the company demonstrates a mature digital presence with room for critical security improvements.

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

Press Manager operates in the technology and media sectors, focusing on communication and press management software. Its competitive advantage lies in a large, verified journalist database, real-time updates, and integrated tools for release distribution and monitoring. The business model is subscription-based SaaS, serving medium-sized enterprises and agencies primarily in Brazil. The company showcases strong client relationships through testimonials and logos, indicating market trust and growth. Partnerships with technology providers like Colina Tech enhance its operational capabilities. The platform's features align with compliance requirements such as LGPD, reflecting awareness of data protection regulations. The company’s digital marketing includes Google Tag Manager and Poptin for user engagement and conversion tracking.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic with significant gaps. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols expose users to potential interception and downgrade attacks. Absence of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption further degrade security and performance. DNS security is minimal with no DNSSEC or CAA records. Email security is well configured with SPF and DMARC records, including reporting addresses. The website employs Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam on contact forms. No explicit security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR/LGPD is partially addressed via cookie consent and opt-out features but could be enhanced with dedicated data protection officer contact and detailed policies.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or 1.3 to secure all web traffic.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and reliability.
  4. Configure DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance DNS security and certificate issuance control.
  5. Publish a comprehensive security policy and provide incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  6. Regularly audit security headers and implement additional headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  7. Enhance privacy compliance by appointing a Data Protection Officer and publishing detailed data retention policies.

Notes

The website runs on a WordPress CMS hosted on AWS infrastructure, using Apache 2.4.52 on Ubuntu. It leverages modern front-end technologies including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, and WP Rocket for caching and lazy loading. SEO is enhanced with Rank Math plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance optimizations include font preloading and deferred JavaScript loading. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is absent or invalid, which is a critical technical debt. DNS setup is robust with multiple AWS Route 53 nameservers but lacks DNSSEC. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility is basic. Overall, the technical stack is modern and well-implemented but requires urgent security upgrades to mitigate risks.
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.
