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

Telegraf.rs is a well-established Serbian online news portal founded in 2011, offering a wide range of news content including politics, business, sports, culture, technology, and lifestyle. It targets a general audience in Serbia and the surrounding region, operating primarily on an advertising-supported business model. The website demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality with a professional design and clear navigation structure. Technically, it employs modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and multiple analytics and advertising platforms, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks DNSSEC for DNS security and does not publish explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No security blocking mechanisms or WAF challenges were detected, and no critical vulnerabilities were found in the visible content. Privacy compliance is basic, with room for improvement in publishing privacy policies and terms of service. Overall, Telegraf.rs presents a moderate risk profile with a solid business presence and technical foundation but could enhance its security posture and privacy transparency. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security and privacy policies, and improving accessibility 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

5 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"

  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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Telegraf.rs holds a strong market position as a major Serbian news portal with diversified content categories and a broad audience. Its business model relies on advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with multiple ad networks and analytics providers. The site maintains a network of partner subdomains catering to niche content areas such as business, health, lifestyle, and science, enhancing its market reach. The domain age and registration details align with its claimed history, supporting credibility. The absence of direct contact information and formal security policies suggests an opportunity to strengthen trust and transparency. The extensive use of third-party marketing and tracking tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy but also raises privacy considerations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers like Referrer-Policy. The lack of DNSSEC is a notable gap in DNS security. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The cookie consent banner indicates GDPR awareness, but no detailed privacy policy was found. The use of multiple third-party scripts and ad networks introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by adopting best practices in DNS security, incident response, and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and ad networks to mitigate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or undisclosed CMS with a modern JavaScript-heavy front end. It integrates multiple analytics and advertising technologies including Google Tag Manager, Gemius, DoubleClick, and Chartbeat. The site employs IntersectionObserver API for lazy loading and performance optimization. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and preloading strategies. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Accessibility is basic, with no explicit ARIA landmarks or advanced features detected. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by numerous third-party scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is mature but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
