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

4 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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
  • 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

Finance.si holds a dominant position in the Slovenian business media sector, leveraging its long-standing domain and brand recognition. Its business model revolves around media publishing and advertising, targeting business professionals and the wider public interested in financial news. The presence of official social media channels and structured data enhances its digital footprint and SEO. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and provides clear contact information, supporting credibility. The use of multiple analytics and tracking tools indicates a focus on audience insights and marketing effectiveness. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data suggests transparency and legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, appropriate security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of asynchronous script loading and a cookie consent mechanism aligns with best practices. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the analyzed content. Regular audits of third-party scripts and enhanced accessibility features would further strengthen security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party analytics and tracking scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Develop and communicate incident response procedures and security contact channels.

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, including Google Analytics, TikTok Pixel, Google Tag Manager, and Privacy Center SDK. It employs Font Awesome 6 for icons and Owl Carousel for UI components. The site is hosted by HITROST.COM, a Slovenian hosting provider, consistent with the domain's origin. The HTML and CSS are well-structured with responsive design considerations, supporting good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize page load times. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no common CMS signatures detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online media platform.
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.
