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

Digitalna Dalmacija is a regional technology and education initiative led by the Split-Dalmatia County, focused on fostering digital skills, startup ecosystem growth, and a vibrant technology community in Croatia. The website serves as a hub for educational programs, startup acceleration, and community events, targeting students, professionals, retirees, and entrepreneurs. It is well-positioned as a government-backed regional technology hub with strong partnerships and community engagement. The technical infrastructure is based on ASP.NET WebForms with modern JavaScript libraries and CMS (DNN), providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some best practices, but lacks explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

    • 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 website represents a public sector initiative aimed at digital transformation and economic growth through technology education and startup support. It leverages partnerships with industry leaders and educational institutions to deliver programs like EDIT CodeSchool, JUNIOR Dev, and CyberSec Akademija. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on community development and regional economic impact. The presence of multiple programs and events indicates a mature ecosystem with active user engagement. The website also integrates social media channels to maintain community interaction and information dissemination. Growth indicators include multiple generations of program participants and active meetups. The partnership ecosystem includes notable technology companies and academic institutions, enhancing credibility and resource availability.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure form mechanisms typical of ASP.NET WebForms. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and incident response readiness. The use of legacy ASP.NET WebForms technology may introduce risks if not regularly updated. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were detected in the HTML content. Tracking scripts from Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are present, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism was found, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with modern security practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  5. Regularly update and patch the ASP.NET WebForms platform and all dependencies to mitigate legacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the DNN (DotNetNuke) CMS platform using ASP.NET WebForms technology, enhanced with jQuery, Bootstrap 5, and Swiper.js for UI components and interactivity. Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some legacy technology potentially impacting speed and maintainability. The site uses standard ASP.NET form mechanisms with VIEWSTATE and EVENTVALIDATION for state management. There is no evidence of modern frontend frameworks like React or Angular. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization to improve performance, security, and maintainability.
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.
