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

The Bulgarian Music Association (Българска музикална асоциация) is a professional non-profit organization representing and protecting the interests of professional musicians in Bulgaria. The website clearly communicates its mission to support musicians through advocacy, education, international cooperation, and promotion of Bulgarian music. The organization targets professional musicians and stakeholders in the Bulgarian music sector. The site is well-positioned as a leading national music association with international outreach. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including React, UIkit, and various performance and SEO plugins. It is well-optimized for mobile and desktop, with fast loading times and good accessibility. The site uses HTTPS and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data. However, some standard security headers are not explicitly detected, and there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information. The WHOIS data is privacy protected in compliance with GDPR, which is appropriate for this type of organization. No suspicious patterns or vulnerabilities were found. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence for the Bulgarian Music Association. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and trust.

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

8 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      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

      • 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';…

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 Bulgarian Music Association operates as a key representative body for professional musicians in Bulgaria, focusing on advocacy, education, and international collaboration. Its business model is non-profit and membership-based, providing services such as legislative advocacy, training, and promotional platforms. The association leverages digital channels and projects to engage its audience and expand its influence. The organization maintains active social media profiles and offers a mobile app to support sector mapping and information dissemination. Growth indicators include ongoing projects, events, and international participation. The association's ecosystem includes partnerships with cultural programs and music markets, positioning it as a central player in Bulgaria's music industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Google Tag Manager is implemented asynchronously, reducing performance impact. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that should be addressed. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness. The WHOIS privacy protection aligns with GDPR requirements and does not raise suspicion. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with room for improvement in header implementation and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing more detailed contact information including official emails and phone numbers.

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.
