The portal holds a strong market position within the Croatian civil society sector and targets a broad audience interested in activism and community engagement.

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

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 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

    • High

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

Business profile

Civilnodruštvo.hr operates as an essential non-profit entity focused on civil society development in Croatia. Its business model revolves around providing information, networking, and visibility to civil initiatives and activists. The portal benefits from a long domain history since 2004, indicating stability and trust within its sector. It leverages partnerships with government and EU-funded programs, as evidenced by content related to European Social Fund projects. The target customers are civil society organizations, activists, and the general public interested in social issues. The portal's content and video productions suggest diversified engagement channels. Growth indicators include active social media presence and regular content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes government offices and NGOs, although no explicit partner domains were identified in the HTML content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms against automated abuse. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could be exploited in certain attack vectors like clickjacking or MIME sniffing. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, which limits transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site uses well-known WordPress plugins, but no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries was detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational portal but could be improved with additional controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the WPZOOM Tribune theme and multiple plugins for SEO, social sharing, forms, galleries, and polls. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking and performance monitoring. The site uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries for UI components like sliders and carousels. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is implemented for spam protection. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility compliance. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is CARNET, a Croatian academic network, which suggests local hosting or management. Overall, the technical infrastructure is mature and suitable for the portal's informational purpose.
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.
