Risk levelHigh

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

The website duskavrhovac.com serves as a personal and informational platform dedicated to the author Duška Vrhovac, offering multilingual content including biography, literary works, translations, interviews, and related materials. The site targets readers and literary enthusiasts interested in the author's work, operating as a small-scale, niche literary website without commercial e-commerce features. Technically, the site is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, lacking modern frameworks or CMS integration. The design is dated, with limited mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is weak, as the site is served over HTTP without HTTPS encryption, lacks security headers, and exposes a personal email address directly in the HTML. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Visitor analytics are implemented via StatCounter, but user tracking is minimal. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate trustworthiness but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization.

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

11 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

  4. 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  5. 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

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

Duskavrhovac.com positions itself as a literary author website with multilingual navigation to reach a diverse audience. The business model is informational and promotional, focusing on content delivery rather than commercial transactions. The site lacks clear business registration or corporate information, relying on a personal email contact. There are no visible partnerships or subsidiaries. The website's content and navigation are straightforward but basic, with limited engagement features beyond a guestbook. Growth potential is constrained by outdated technology and lack of modern digital marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem is minimal, with only external links to related personal or literary sites. Strategic observations suggest the need for enhanced digital presence, improved security, and compliance to increase credibility and audience reach.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of duskavrhovac.com is low. The absence of HTTPS exposes users to data interception risks. No security headers are implemented, increasing vulnerability to common web attacks such as clickjacking or MIME sniffing. The direct exposure of an email address increases spam and phishing risks. There are no visible forms or input fields, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The site lacks privacy and cookie policies, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Overall, the security posture requires urgent improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all data transmissions.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data practices.
  4. Replace exposed email addresses with contact forms protected by CAPTCHA to reduce spam.
  5. Modernize website design with responsive layouts and improve accessibility features.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without modern frameworks or CMS platforms. The JavaScript is limited to image preloading and rollover effects. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility enhancements. Performance is moderate but could be improved with modern coding practices and optimization. SEO is basic, with minimal meta tags and no structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not disclosed. The site uses StatCounter for analytics, indicating some level of visitor tracking. Technical debt is evident due to outdated design and lack of security features, posing risks to business operations and user trust.
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.
