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"

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 Bible Society occupies a niche non-profit market focused on religious literature distribution and Bible translation projects. Their competitive advantage lies in their official status, long-standing presence, and comprehensive service offerings including specialized projects for blind users and children. Revenue streams likely include sales from their online store and donations. The target customers are Bulgarian-speaking Christians and religious communities. The organization maintains partnerships with international Bible societies and payment processors such as PayPal, EasyPay, and ePay. Growth indicators include active blog content and ongoing projects. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to related Bible resources and payment services. Strategic observations suggest a stable operation with opportunities to improve backend stability and security hardening.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and user authentication includes captcha protection. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented in compliance with GDPR. However, visible PHP warnings in the scripture search feature indicate potential information leakage risks and backend error handling issues. The absence of DNSSEC reduces domain security. Security headers are not fully verified, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header hardening. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve security culture and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from addressing backend errors and enhancing domain and HTTP security configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Fix PHP warnings and errors to prevent information leakage and improve backend stability.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  3. Add and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a PHP-based backend with frontend technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, FontAwesome, and TinyMCE. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, Zendesk Chat, and Mautic for marketing automation. Hosting is provided by SuperHosting.BG, inferred from nameservers. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured content. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Minor technical debt is observed in the form of PHP warnings visible in the scripture search feature, which should be addressed to avoid user experience degradation and security risks. The site lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, which are modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit but can be improved for better security and stability.
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.
