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. 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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

  4. 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"

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

The portal occupies a niche in Croatian media focused on business lifestyle, monetizing through advertising and affiliate marketing. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content and a targeted audience of professionals. The business model is content-driven with revenue streams from ads and affiliate sales. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and regular content updates. Partnerships with fashion retailers like Answear.hr enhance monetization. The company operates independently without visible parent or subsidiary entities, maintaining a small but focused operation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and DotMetrics requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business scale but could be strengthened for resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to engage with security researchers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Breeze plugin is used for caching and performance optimization. Complianz plugin ensures GDPR compliance with cookie consent management. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are present, and meta tags are well configured for SEO and social sharing. Hosting provider details are limited but domain registrar is CARNET, a reputable Croatian academic network. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security 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.
