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

TI INSIDE Online is a well-established Brazilian media portal specializing in technology, business, and innovation news and analysis. With over 15 years of continuous publication, it serves a qualified audience of executives including CEOs, CIOs, and other C-level professionals across various business departments. The portal offers a broad range of content including news, research, white papers, podcasts, and events, positioning itself as a principal source for digital business trends in Brazil. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and performance optimization plugins. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which undermines user trust and data security. The site implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Overall, the portal demonstrates good content quality and user experience but requires urgent security enhancements to protect its audience and maintain its market position.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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"

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

TI INSIDE Online operates as a media publishing business focused on delivering technology and business content to a professional audience in Brazil. Its business model revolves around content creation, advertising revenue via Google Ad Manager, and partnerships with related industry sites and research organizations. The portal's target customers are senior executives and decision-makers interested in IT, innovation, and digital transformation. The presence of white papers, podcasts, and events indicates diversified content offerings aimed at engagement and monetization. The partnership ecosystem includes cybersecurity forums, marketing platforms, and ESG news sites, enhancing its content breadth and market reach. The company appears medium-sized with a consistent brand and a strong digital presence, leveraging social media and SEO best practices to maintain visibility and influence.

Security posture

The current security posture of TI INSIDE Online is weak due to the lack of HTTPS, which exposes users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While the site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms and has implemented GDPR-compliant cookie consent, it lacks essential security headers and modern TLS protocols. DNS security features like DNSSEC and CAA records are not enabled, further increasing risk. No explicit security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. The absence of a security.txt file and data protection officer contact details suggests gaps in compliance with best practices and regulatory requirements. Immediate remediation is necessary to secure user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Configure DNSSEC and add CAA records to strengthen DNS security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  6. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file.
  7. Designate and publish contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Performance optimization is handled by WP Rocket and image formats include WebP for efficiency. The site uses multiple advertising slots managed by Google Ad Manager and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. Despite these modern technologies, the lack of HTTPS is a significant technical deficiency. The site shows moderate load times and good mobile optimization. Accessibility and SEO are basic to good, with structured data implemented via Schema.org JSON-LD. Hosting appears to be on a VPS or dedicated server with IP addresses in the 162.240.x.x range. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media portal but requires security upgrades and continuous maintenance to reduce technical debt and 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.
