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

The website catedrala-nationala.ro serves as the official online presence for the Romanian National Cathedral project, providing comprehensive information about the cathedral's history, theological symbolism, media coverage, and donation opportunities. It targets Romanian citizens, religious communities, and donors interested in supporting the construction and cultural significance of the cathedral. The site is built on WordPress, leveraging popular plugins and technologies such as WPBakery Page Builder, Revolution Slider, and Google Analytics, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS with DNSSEC enabled, ensuring a secure and reliable infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and DNSSEC, though additional security headers and explicit security policies could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Business credibility is moderate to high given the domain age, WHOIS transparency, and alignment with a national cultural project. Overall, the site is professional, well-structured, and serves its informational and fundraising purposes effectively.

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.

Priority findings

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Security headers

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 National Cathedral website occupies a unique position as a government/non-profit cultural project, focusing on national heritage and religious significance. Its business model revolves around donation campaigns and public engagement. The site integrates media galleries, event calendars, and informational pages to maintain public interest and transparency. Partnerships with related domains such as pictamcatedrala.ro and basilica.ro indicate a collaborative ecosystem supporting the cathedral's construction and cultural promotion. The domain age and registration details align with the project's timeline, reinforcing legitimacy. The site lacks direct contact information and formal privacy/legal policies, which could be areas for future enhancement to build greater trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, DNSSEC, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of reputable WordPress plugins and Cloudflare DNS suggests a managed and secure environment. However, the absence of advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No known vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. The site would benefit from implementing a security.txt file and formal vulnerability disclosure process to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but could be strengthened to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and incident management.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve the security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with a modern tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, and popular plugins for content management, sliders, events, and forms. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS with DNSSEC enabled, contributing to DNS security. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking, balanced with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve accessibility compliance.
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.
