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 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

    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 portal targets civil society actors, NGOs, activists, and the general Croatian public interested in social issues. Its business model is informational and promotional, likely funded by grants or public funds given its non-profit nature. The site maintains a consistent brand and content strategy, with active social media channels on Facebook and Twitter. The domain age and registrar (CARNET) reinforce its legitimacy. The portal's content quality and update frequency indicate a stable operation with a focus on community engagement and education. No commercial or e-commerce activities are evident. The site collaborates with various civil organizations and promotes events and initiatives, positioning itself as a key media outlet in the Croatian civil sector.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is implemented to protect forms from spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense in depth. No public security or incident response policies are found, which could improve transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Regular updates and security hardening are recommended to maintain a strong security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on WordPress 5.3.2 with a WPZOOM theme and multiple plugins for SEO, social sharing, galleries, polls, and analytics. It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries like Flickity and Flexslider for UI components. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for traffic analysis. The site is hosted under the Croatian academic network registrar CARNET, indicating local hosting. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO metadata is well implemented including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Some technical debt is present due to older WordPress version and missing security headers, but overall the infrastructure is stable and functional.
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.
