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

The website benefits from its affiliation with United Media, a significant media group in Bulgaria, enhancing its market credibility and reach. Its business model leverages advertising networks such as Taboola and Google DoubleClick, alongside analytics tools like Gemius and Facebook Pixel, to optimize audience engagement and monetization. The target audience is primarily Bulgarian-speaking automotive enthusiasts, with content tailored to local and international automotive developments. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple Bulgarian media sites and technical partners like Net Info Company.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and employs GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms, including cookie banners and OneSignal push notification consent. Security headers are partially implemented, with room for improvement in explicit CSP and X-Frame-Options headers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate risks. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, representing an area for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive Content-Security-Policy and other security headers explicitly.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising partners for security compliance.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.6.0, Google Tag Manager, OneSignal, and multiple advertising and analytics platforms. The CMS appears custom or proprietary with no explicit detection of common CMS platforms. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site integrates multiple external domains for fonts, ads, analytics, and content delivery, reflecting a complex but standard media infrastructure.
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.
