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.

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

BISS.bg operates in the Bulgarian media sector with a focus on business and financial news. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content tailored for Bulgarian business audiences, supported by interviews and topical news coverage. The business model is primarily advertising-driven, as indicated by the presence of Google DoubleClick and partnerships with Netinfo Company. The parent company, United Media, provides a strong backing and network. The platform targets professionals and stakeholders interested in economic developments, leveraging digital channels for content distribution. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of modern analytics tools. Strategic partnerships with advertising and media companies enhance its market presence and monetization capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under EU regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not published, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media site but would benefit from enhanced header configurations, explicit privacy controls, and published security policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including CSS3, JavaScript, and uses external services such as Google Tag Manager, YouTube iframe API, and Gemius analytics for tracking and advertising. Fonts are loaded from Typekit and Google Fonts, ensuring good typography. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and layout. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page speed. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but nameservers indicate Bulgarian hosting providers. Technical risks include lack of security headers and missing cookie consent, which could impact compliance and security. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media platform with opportunities for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
