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

The website represents a public infrastructure project managed by Vodovod d.o.o. – Podružnica Novalja, focused on improving water supply and wastewater treatment infrastructure in the Novalja region of Croatia. The project is co-financed by the European Union through the Cohesion Fund and national funds, emphasizing environmental protection and public utility enhancement. The site provides detailed project descriptions, progress updates, and contact information for stakeholders and the public. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing common technologies such as jQuery, Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. Hosting is provided by Plus Hosting Grupa d.o.o., a Croatian hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and moderate performance. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, with a cookie consent mechanism in place to comply with GDPR. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent banners, but lacks explicit security headers and public security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is consistent with the hosting provider and the domain age aligns with the project timeline, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations. It effectively serves its purpose as an informational portal for a public utility project. Strategic improvements could include enhanced security headers, public incident response information, and accessibility enhancements to further strengthen security posture and user experience.

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

  2. 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

  3. 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"

      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

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 · 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

Vodovod d.o.o. – Podružnica Novalja operates in the energy sector, specifically water supply and wastewater management, serving the Novalja region. The business model is primarily public infrastructure development funded by EU and national sources. The company holds a regional market position as a public utility provider. Key services include water infrastructure rehabilitation, wastewater treatment, and public water management. The website targets local residents, government stakeholders, and project partners. The presence of EU funding logos and structured project updates indicate transparency and accountability. The company appears to be a small-sized entity founded around 2020, aligned with the project start. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The website content and branding are consistent, supporting a credible public image.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policies are publicly disclosed, limiting transparency on handling security events. The use of common third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces potential tracking risks but is managed with user consent. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the analyzed content. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security controls and public security documentation to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are basic but present.

No technical debt or critical risks were identified in the current implementation.
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.
