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

7 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

  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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 business operates as a government-supported film commission, leveraging incentive programs to attract international productions. Its competitive advantage lies in the 25% cash rebate incentive, additional regional bonuses, and a strong network of regional offices. The business model focuses on service facilitation and promotion rather than direct revenue generation. Partnerships with regional film commissions and membership in AFCI and EUFCN strengthen its ecosystem. The target customers are international film producers and production companies seeking diverse filming locations and professional support. Growth indicators include recent incentive program enhancements and active promotion of new filming locations. The website content and testimonials reflect positive industry feedback, supporting a strong market position.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. No critical security headers were detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in security hardening. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12.2) may pose potential vulnerabilities if not patched. No exposed sensitive data or forms with insecure inputs were found. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, indicating a gap in formal security governance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, updating libraries, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet WCAG standards more comprehensively.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Yoast SEO, WPML for multilingual support, and Smush for image optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics for user tracking. Hosting appears to be via cyber_Folks d.o.o. with DNS managed by AWS nameservers, indicating a reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and videos. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical debt is minimal but updating legacy libraries like jQuery is advisable. The site architecture supports good navigation and user experience, with room for improved accessibility features.
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.
