Security score

41/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Općina Darda is the official municipal government website for the Darda municipality in Croatia, providing local governance information and public services to residents and visitors. The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and several common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is well-branded and consistent with its government identity, targeting local citizens and stakeholders. Technically, the site shows good SEO optimization and mobile responsiveness but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. Security posture is basic with no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the website is legitimate and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices to meet modern compliance standards.

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

10 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

      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 · found on this site
  • 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 website serves as a digital portal for the local government of Darda, Croatia, positioning itself as an essential information hub for municipal services and announcements. Its business model is typical of government entities, focusing on transparency and public communication rather than commercial revenue. The site’s long domain age and consistent WHOIS data reinforce its established presence. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests room for improvement in regulatory compliance. The target audience is primarily local residents and visitors seeking official information. The site’s use of popular WordPress plugins and themes indicates a standard approach to content management and user engagement.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is basic. While HTTPS is presumably enabled (not explicitly confirmed in the provided data), there is no evidence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which limits the site's readiness to handle security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. The site should prioritize implementing security best practices and compliance documentation to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to improve user insights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Avada theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO, LayerSlider, Contact Form 7, and Chameleon. The technical infrastructure appears standard for a government site, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, and scripts are loaded from WordPress core and plugin sources. Hosting is likely provided by CARNET, the Croatian academic and research network, which aligns with the domain registrar. No advanced frameworks or custom technologies were detected. The site lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance features, indicating technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could be modernized with enhanced security and privacy controls.
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.
