The website res-publika.com is a Russian-language media portal launched in 2024, focusing on news and analysis in politics, economy, and culture. It serves a niche audience interested in these topics, providing categorized articles and regular content updates. The site uses Joomla CMS with the K2 component and common frontend libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS. The technical infrastructure is modern but basic, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved protection. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, representing a compliance gap, and the contact email uses a generic Gmail address, which may reduce perceived trustworthiness. No social media or incident response contacts are provided. Overall, the site is functional and content-rich but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices to improve trust and compliance.

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.
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
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"
This scan found 24 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
Res-publika.com operates as a small media outlet targeting Russian-speaking users interested in political and economic news. Its business model revolves around content publication and possibly advertising, though no ad networks or tracking tools were detected. The site maintains a consistent brand and content quality, positioning itself as a niche news source. The lack of detailed company information and use of a generic contact email suggest a small or newly established operation. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth potential depends on expanding trust signals, compliance, and possibly monetization strategies.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, preventing unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks like DNS spoofing and clickjacking. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
Use a company domain email address for contact information to enhance credibility.
Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Joomla CMS with the K2 extension, using standard frontend technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and FontAwesome. It is hosted with Cloudflare DNS services and uses SSL/TLS for secure connections. The site shows good mobile responsiveness and a clear navigation structure. However, there is no evidence of advanced performance optimization or accessibility features beyond basic levels. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts suggests minimal user tracking. Technical debt appears low but the lack of security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
