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

4 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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Avto.net holds a leading market position in Slovenia's automotive classifieds sector, leveraging a business model based on advertising and vehicle listings. The company benefits from a strong brand and consistent content quality, targeting a broad audience of vehicle buyers and sellers. Its partnership ecosystem includes advertising networks like IPROM and tracking services such as Google Analytics and Criteo, supporting monetization and marketing efforts. The platform's longevity since 1997 indicates stable operations and market acceptance. However, absence of explicit contact information and terms of service pages suggests areas for improvement in customer engagement and legal transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level, with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare providing DNS and CDN services. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with TCFv2.2 compliance, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are not evident, representing potential areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could impact readiness and transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened by implementing additional best practices and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations, improving legal compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 4.4.1 for responsive design, FontAwesome and IcoMoon for icons, and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Cookiebot is integrated for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers would reduce risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports stable and compliant operations with opportunities for further modernization.
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.
