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

The website evroto.bg serves as the official Bulgarian government portal dedicated to informing citizens and businesses about the adoption of the euro currency in Bulgaria. It provides comprehensive news, events, educational materials, and multimedia content to support the transition process. The site targets a broad audience including citizens, businesses, and stakeholders interested in the eurozone integration. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap for responsive design, Video.js for video playback, and Matomo for analytics, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services. Accessibility features are well implemented, enhancing usability for diverse users. Security-wise, while HTTPS is presumably enabled, the site lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is privacy protected in compliance with GDPR, which is appropriate for this type of government-related domain. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its informational purpose effectively, though it would benefit from enhanced security and privacy disclosures.

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

5 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 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

    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

  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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

evroto.bg occupies a unique position as an official government information portal, providing authoritative content on Bulgaria's euro adoption. Its business model is informational and public service-oriented, with no commercial transactions. The site leverages partnerships with social media platforms for outreach and uses Matomo analytics for user insights. The content is regularly updated with news, events, and multimedia, indicating active engagement. The absence of direct contact information suggests a centralized communication approach, likely managed by the parent organization Информационно обслужване АД. The portal supports national policy communication and public awareness, positioning it as a critical resource in the governmental digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture. It uses Cloudflare DNS, which provides some level of protection and performance benefits. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies may expose compliance risks under GDPR. The site does not appear to have a dedicated incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanism publicly available. Enhancing security headers, enforcing HTTPS strictly, and publishing privacy and security policies would strengthen the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add explicit contact information for support and security incident reporting to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and embedded content to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, responsive framework using Bootstrap and Video.js for multimedia content. It integrates YouTube iframe API for video embedding and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for open-source tracking solutions. Hosting appears to be supported by Cloudflare DNS services, enhancing availability and DNS security. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, including an accessibility menu with contrast and font size controls. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the lack of visible security headers and privacy disclosures indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Performance is moderate, with some embedded videos showing loading errors possibly due to source availability or configuration issues.
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.
