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

Društvo arhitekata Istre (DAI-SAI) operates as a regional architectural association in Croatia, focusing on promoting architectural culture, organizing competitions, exhibitions, and publishing related content. The website serves as an information hub for architects and interested audiences in the Istria region and broader Croatian architectural community. The business model is non-profit and community-oriented, with a focus on education, events, and architectural discourse. Technically, the website is built on an older WordPress platform with outdated jQuery and plugins, which may pose security and performance challenges. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks modern SEO and accessibility features. The absence of updated software and mixed content issues indicate technical debt and potential vulnerabilities. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response information. Some scripts are loaded over HTTP, increasing risk. No advanced analytics or tracking is detected, indicating minimal user tracking but also limited privacy compliance. The site does not implement GDPR compliance measures visibly. Overall, the website is functional and provides relevant content but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to reduce risk and enhance user trust. Strategic updates to software, implementation of security best practices, and addition of privacy policies are recommended to improve the site's posture and credibility.

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

9 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

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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

DAI-SAI holds a niche position as a regional architectural association with a focus on the Istria region and collaboration with national bodies like the Croatian Chamber of Architects and UHA. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized content, event organization, and promotion of architectural awards. The business model is non-commercial, relying on community engagement and partnerships with publishers and other architectural organizations. The target audience includes architects, students, and architecture enthusiasts. Growth indicators include active event announcements and publications. Partnerships with entities like Sandorf publishing and UHA enhance its ecosystem. However, limited digital modernization may constrain broader reach and engagement.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low to moderate. The use of outdated WordPress and jQuery versions exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. The lack of security headers and mixed content issues further weaken the security posture. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is not evident, and no data protection officer or vulnerability disclosure policy is present. The minimal use of tracking reduces privacy risks but also reflects a lack of privacy management. Overall, the site requires urgent updates and implementation of security best practices to mitigate risks and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Serve all website resources exclusively over HTTPS to eliminate mixed content risks.
  3. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  5. Establish an incident response plan and provide contact channels for security issues to improve trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on an outdated WordPress 3.8.41 CMS with jQuery 1.10.2 and NextGEN Gallery plugin 1.6.2, indicating technical debt. The Alkivia Framework 0.8 is used as the theme framework. Some scripts are loaded over HTTP, causing mixed content warnings. The site has basic mobile optimization and accessibility but lacks modern SEO and structured data. Performance is moderate but could be improved with updated technologies and optimization. The site does not leverage modern analytics or marketing tools, limiting insights into user behavior. Overall, modernization and technical upgrades are needed to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
