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

Rakyat45.com is an Indonesian online news media platform founded in 2020, delivering news content focused on national and regional topics including politics, law, economy, and lifestyle. The website targets the general Indonesian public seeking timely and factual news updates. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Yoast SEO and Google Site Kit integrations, hosted by CV. Rumahweb Indonesia. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and content quality with regularly updated articles and structured data for enhanced search visibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for improved security. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, although Google Analytics is used with consent denied in certain regions. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is a legitimate, functional news portal with room for improvement in privacy and security practices.

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

8 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 operates as a small-sized media entity in Indonesia, focusing on news dissemination. Its business model revolves around content publishing and audience engagement through news articles. The site maintains a consistent brand identity and leverages social media channels for outreach. The domain age and registration data align with the business timeline, indicating legitimacy. Revenue streams likely include advertising and sponsored content, although no explicit ad networks are detected beyond Google Analytics tracking. The platform's competitive advantage lies in localized news coverage with a professional presentation. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

Security maturity is moderate. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain transfer protection, which are positive indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security posture. No incident response or security policies are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is managed with consent restrictions in some regions, reflecting some privacy awareness. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing security policies, and conducting regular security audits to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Establish and disclose incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Yoast SEO and Google Site Kit plugins, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. It uses Splide.js for interactive sliders and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. Hosting is provided by CV. Rumahweb Indonesia, a known Indonesian hosting provider.

The technical stack is standard for news media sites, with opportunities to improve security configurations and privacy compliance. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected.
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.
