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

Dizajn Studio Novalja is a small, locally focused business established in 2003, specializing in web design, digital printing, advertising, and photography services primarily targeting the tourism sector and local companies on the island of Pag, Croatia. The company offers a range of services including website creation for tourist accommodations, graphic design, digital printing, signage, key and stamp making, and photography. Their market position is that of a regional service provider with a solid reputation, supported by positive aggregate ratings and social media presence. Technically, the website employs older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.6.0 and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site lacks HTTPS, which is a significant security concern, and no advanced security headers or policies are detected. The website design and content quality are good, with clear navigation and relevant business information, but mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. SEO is supported by structured data but could be improved. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and security headers, along with outdated libraries, exposes the site to potential vulnerabilities. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, indicating poor privacy compliance. Incident response and security policy information are also missing, which could impact trust and regulatory compliance. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to reduce risk and enhance trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, updating libraries, adding privacy and cookie policies, and improving security headers and incident response readiness.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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

      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

Business profile

Dizajn Studio Novalja operates in a niche market serving tourism-related businesses and local companies with web and print services. Their competitive advantage lies in combining web design with digital printing and advertising, tailored for the local tourism industry. Revenue streams likely include web development projects, printing jobs, advertising packages, and photography services. The company targets small to medium-sized tourism accommodation providers and local businesses seeking digital presence and marketing support. Growth indicators include a long domain age and positive online reviews. The partnership ecosystem includes links to local tourism portals and ferry services, enhancing their market reach. Strategic observations suggest focusing on digital modernization and expanding online marketing capabilities to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is low due to the lack of HTTPS, absence of security headers, and use of outdated JavaScript libraries with known vulnerabilities. There are no visible compliance indicators for GDPR or other data protection regulations, and no published incident response or security policies. The business impact of these gaps includes potential data interception, reduced user trust, and regulatory non-compliance risks. Data protection practices appear minimal, with no cookie consent or privacy policy. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated. Security culture indicators are weak, suggesting the need for increased awareness and implementation of best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Update all JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and provide security contact information to enhance trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack including jQuery 1.6.0 and jQuery UI 1.10.0, which are outdated and potentially vulnerable. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, indicating some level of digital marketing sophistication. The site lacks HTTPS, which is a critical technical deficiency. Performance is moderate, with some use of CSS and JavaScript for UI effects and slideshows. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, suggesting room for improvement. The site does not appear to use a CMS, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Hosting details are limited to registrar information, with no explicit hosting provider identified. Technical debt is present due to outdated libraries and missing modern security practices, posing risks to business operations.
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.
