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

8 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

    • 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

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 positions itself as a key information hub for regional governance, focusing on transparency and public service. Its business model is centered on government service delivery rather than commercial revenue. The site leverages WordPress CMS with multilingual support, indicating a commitment to accessibility for diverse users. The presence of official contact details and government domain extensions reinforces its credibility. The lack of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its public service nature.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of standard security headers, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are recommended best practices for transparency and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content, and the WordPress platform appears up-to-date. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with additional policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed privacy policy page clearly linked from the homepage.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy outlining security practices and user protections.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.6.1 with a modern theme (LSVR Wordbench) and uses popular plugins such as WPML for multilingual support and Cookie Law Info for GDPR compliance. It loads Google Fonts and jQuery libraries, indicating a standard modern web stack. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and search functionality. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the CMS and plugins. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Hosting provider details were not identified from the content.
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.
