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

The Program fonda za aktivno građanstvo u Hrvatskoj - ACF Hrvatska is a Croatian non-profit initiative focused on promoting active citizenship and inclusive communities through grant funding and support for civil society organizations. The website serves as an information hub for open calls, project results, and partnership development, positioning itself as a key national program fund manager. The site is well-branded, consistent, and targets Croatian citizens and NGOs engaged in civic activities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and accessibility and GDPR compliance plugins. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility features, and SEO practices. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the Croatian market and the organization's profile. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and implements GDPR cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Analytics usage is moderate with Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and compliance posture. Strategic improvements could include publishing security and incident response policies and enhancing security headers to further strengthen trust and resilience.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 organization operates as a non-profit program fund manager in Croatia, focusing on active citizenship and civil society development. It leverages partnerships with local and regional NGOs and funding mechanisms such as the EEA and Norway Grants. The business model centers on grant distribution, applicant support, and partnership facilitation. The website reflects a medium-sized operation with a clear national focus and a consistent brand presence. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable Croatian and regional NGOs, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active calls for projects and published results, signaling ongoing program activity and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR cookie compliance implemented. Accessibility features indicate attention to inclusive design. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth. The use of multiple third-party plugins necessitates regular vulnerability management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform, WordPress 6.7.2, with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap and jQuery. It uses several plugins for SEO (Yoast), multilingual support (WPML), accessibility (WP Accessibility Helper PRO), cookie compliance, and sliders (MetaSlider). Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and Mailchimp for newsletter subscriptions. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is Hrvatski Telekom d.d., a reputable Croatian entity. The technical infrastructure is sound but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security configurations.
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.
