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

The website absrs.org represents the Агенција за безбједност саобраћаја Републике Српске, a government agency dedicated to traffic safety in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The agency provides comprehensive information on traffic laws, safety campaigns, licensing procedures, and statistical data to support safer road usage. The site targets the general public, local communities, and government stakeholders, positioning itself as an authoritative source for traffic safety in the region. Technically, the website employs a moderate technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Fancybox for UI elements, alongside Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. Hosting is managed by BitLab, with domain registration dating back to 2012, indicating an established presence. The site is accessible, mobile-optimized, and features clear navigation, although some SEO and accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS URLs but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Google Analytics is implemented via an older ga.js script, and no cookie consent mechanism is detected. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the agency's government status, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy as a government information portal but would benefit from improved security practices and privacy compliance to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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 agency operates as a government entity focused on transportation safety, with a clear mandate to educate and regulate traffic participants in Republika Srpska. Its competitive advantage lies in official status and partnerships with local and international organizations such as the European Transport Safety Council. The business model is service-oriented, funded by government resources, and focused on public safety rather than commercial revenue. The website supports growth through campaigns, training, and public procurement transparency. The partnership ecosystem includes ministries, traffic faculties, and auto-moto associations, reinforcing its authoritative position in the sector.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The use of HTTPS is positive, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces resilience against certain attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies exposes compliance risks under GDPR. Google Analytics usage without explicit consent mechanisms further complicates privacy compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. Overall, the agency should prioritize implementing security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy compliance measures to strengthen its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Update Google Analytics to the latest version and ensure tracking complies with privacy regulations.
  5. Develop and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of well-known front-end libraries including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Slick Carousel for sliders, and Fancybox for media display. Google Fonts and Font Awesome provide typography and icons. The site is hosted by BitLab with domain registration dating to 2012, indicating stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but could be enhanced. The site appears custom-built or uses a non-mainstream CMS, as no common CMS signatures were detected.
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.
