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. 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 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

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

The website reflects a government-operated platform with a stable market position as a regional authority. Its business model is centered on public service delivery and regional governance. The site leverages partnerships with social media platforms for outreach and uses Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for user engagement tracking. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies suggests room for improvement in compliance and transparency. The platform's content and services are tailored to local residents and government stakeholders, with no commercial or revenue-driven activities evident.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and FontAwesome, indicating a baseline of security best practices. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, and there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced header configurations, transparency, and documented security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Include explicit contact information for data protection officers or security contacts to facilitate communication.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet international standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap, FontAwesome, jQuery, and DataTables, ensuring responsive design and interactive features. Google Fonts and CDN-hosted libraries are used for performance optimization. Google Analytics and Facebook SDK are integrated for analytics and social media functionality. The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS, with no common CMS like WordPress or Joomla detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social sharing and search engine visibility.
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.
