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. 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 33 OMBR website positions itself as a key informational and recruitment platform for a Ukrainian military brigade formed in 2022. It leverages official social media channels and structured data to enhance visibility and trust. The business model is non-profit/governmental, focusing on public engagement, recruitment, and support donations. The site demonstrates a medium-sized organizational digital footprint with clear sector focus on government and defense. Partnerships with web development firms and use of Google Analytics indicate a moderate digital maturity. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its non-commercial nature.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status clientTransferProhibited, enhancing domain security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS to spoofing risks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency on handling security incidents. The site uses common third-party scripts like Google Analytics and jQuery, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or insecure forms were detected. Privacy compliance gaps exist, notably the lack of cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with DNSSEC and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including Swiper.js for sliders and AOS for animations, contributing to a dynamic user experience. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site is hosted with a registrar Internet Invest, Ltd. dba Imena.ua, with multiple DNS servers but lacks DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though enabling DNSSEC and improving privacy compliance would further enhance the technical robustness.
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.
