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

Forecastweather.gr is a specialized Greek weather forecast website providing detailed meteorological information, live weather cameras, and weather-related articles focused on Greece. The site targets Greek-speaking users interested in regional weather updates and related environmental data. It operates on a Joomla CMS platform with modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google services for analytics and advertising. Accessibility features including screen reader support are implemented, enhancing usability for diverse audiences. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and nonce usage in scripts, but lacks explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism present but no clear privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the website is functional, professionally designed, and trustworthy for its niche audience, though improvements in transparency and security documentation are recommended.

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

9 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

  2. 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

  3. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

The website occupies a niche market in Greek weather forecasting, offering comprehensive regional forecasts and live camera feeds. Its business model appears to be content-driven with revenue from Google Adsense advertising. The site maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. While the domain is privacy protected, this is typical for small content providers and does not raise legitimacy concerns. The absence of direct contact information and formal policies suggests a small-scale operation focused on information dissemination rather than commercial transactions. Growth potential lies in expanding content offerings and enhancing user engagement through improved transparency and security practices.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and some script nonce usage indicating awareness of content security policies. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is present, limiting incident response readiness and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. To improve security posture, the site should implement comprehensive security headers, publish security policies, and establish clear incident response contacts. Regular updates and audits of Joomla and third-party components are advised to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service to enhance transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for business and security inquiries to improve trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update CMS and third-party libraries to prevent vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a frontend leveraging Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring responsive design and accessibility. Google Fonts and Material Icons are used for consistent typography and iconography. Google Tag Manager and Adsense scripts are integrated for analytics and monetization. The site includes accessibility enhancements such as screen reader support and keyboard navigation aids. Performance is moderate with some inline styles and multiple CSS files, but no major issues detected. SEO is supported by meta descriptions, alternate feeds (RSS/Atom), and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the HTML. Technical risks include potential outdated Joomla components and lack of advanced security headers. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTP/2, optimizing script loading, and enhancing security configurations.
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.
