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

      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

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

Expano operates as a regional promotional center funded by EU and Slovenian government programs, positioning itself as a key cultural and tourism hub in Pomurje. Its business model includes ticket sales, exhibitions, and retail, appealing to a broad audience including schools, families, and business groups. The website reflects strong partnerships with governmental and regional organizations, enhancing its credibility and market reach. The presence of multiple language options and social media channels indicates a strategy to attract international visitors. The site’s content and certifications demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and quality tourism experiences.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust. The use of third-party libraries appears current, but no explicit versioning or vulnerability scanning is evident. Security headers are not detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could enhance its security maturity by adopting best practices in security policy publication and vulnerability management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more detailed privacy and data protection information, including data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including Google Fonts, Google Maps API, jQuery, and Slick Carousel for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and UserWay for accessibility compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and supports multiple languages. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized image usage. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced SEO metadata. Overall, the technical implementation supports a good user experience with room for incremental improvements.
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.
