Turnitin Indonesia is a localized website of the global Turnitin brand, offering academic integrity and plagiarism prevention solutions tailored for Indonesian students and educational institutions. The company is positioned as a leading provider in the education technology sector, focusing on promoting original student work and streamlining assessment processes. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with internationalization support and integration of modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and reCAPTCHA integration to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the site lacks visible privacy policy and terms of service links, which are critical for full compliance and user trust.

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.

Priority findings

4 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Turnitin operates primarily in the education sector, providing SaaS solutions that help institutions maintain academic integrity and prevent plagiarism. The business model is B2B, targeting schools, universities, and educators. The Indonesian site is part of a global network of localized domains, indicating a broad international footprint. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with various educational platforms, although no explicit partner domains were identified in the Indonesian site content. The use of OneTrust and Google Tag Manager suggests a focus on compliance and marketing analytics. The absence of direct contact information on the site may indicate a channel strategy relying on parent company support or partner networks. Turnitin's market position is strong, with a recognized brand and established trust signals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated threats, indicating a baseline security posture. The presence of OneTrust cookie consent demonstrates attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in transparency and best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is good but could be improved by adding security.txt, vulnerability disclosure policies, and enhanced HTTP security headers. Overall, the site appears secure for its purpose but lacks some advanced security communication and controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Include clear contact information such as support emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 4.5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Brightcove for video playback. Google Tag Manager and OneTrust are integrated for analytics and privacy management respectively. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices including canonical and hreflang tags for internationalization. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and video content. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details were not found in the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for performance and accessibility improvements.
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.
