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

The Central Securities Depository (Централен депозитар) operates as a key financial infrastructure entity in Bulgaria, providing essential services to issuers, members, investors, and managing special pledges and financial collateral. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and multilingual support (Bulgarian and English). The business model centers on providing secure and reliable central securities depository services, positioning itself as a trusted national financial institution. The company maintains active communication channels including email, phone, and social media platforms, enhancing stakeholder engagement. Technically, the website is built using JavaServer Faces (JSF) with PrimeFaces framework and jQuery libraries, indicating a mature enterprise-grade technology stack. The site is mobile responsive and implements cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with no critical technical issues detected. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and basic security headers present, but could be improved by adding more comprehensive security headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. The WHOIS data is privacy protected under GDPR, which is typical for EU domains, and the domain status is active and consistent with the business operations. No suspicious patterns or vulnerabilities were found. Overall, the website demonstrates a good balance of business credibility, technical implementation, and security compliance, suitable for its role in the financial sector. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a formal privacy policy and incident response contacts, improving SEO and accessibility compliance, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen trust and security culture.

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.

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 Central Securities Depository holds a strong market position as Bulgaria's primary financial infrastructure provider for securities depository services. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive service offerings tailored to issuers, members, and investors. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on secure transaction processing and record-keeping. Revenue streams likely derive from service fees charged to market participants. The target customer segments include financial institutions, corporate issuers, investors, and regulatory bodies. Growth indicators include active digital portals and regular publication of news and bulletins. The partnership ecosystem includes related portals such as the E-Portal and LEI Portal, enhancing service integration. Operationally, the company maintains a professional web presence with consistent branding and active social media engagement, supporting its market credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and basic security headers implemented to prevent caching of sensitive data. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency in incident response readiness. GDPR compliance is indicated through cookie consent and WHOIS privacy protection. The lack of published incident response contacts or security policies suggests room to enhance security culture and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be elevated by adopting additional best practices and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy page detailing data handling practices and GDPR compliance.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility compliance to improve user experience and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a JavaServer Faces (JSF) platform using PrimeFaces 12.0.0 and jQuery libraries, indicating a robust enterprise-level technology stack. The site is mobile responsive with CSS media queries for different screen sizes. Performance is moderate with no broken elements detected. The site uses Google Fonts for typography and embeds Google Maps for location display. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site lacks advanced SEO metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data, limiting search engine optimization potential. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization in SEO and accessibility.
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.
