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

Fotoklub Čakovec is a small, local photography club based in Croatia, established in 2008. The organization focuses on photography education, community workshops, exhibitions, and publishing photography-related books. Their website is built on WordPress and uses a variety of plugins to support photo galleries, user interaction, and SEO. The club targets photography enthusiasts including children and adults, providing educational and cultural services. The website content is rich and professionally presented, with consistent branding and good navigation. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including WordPress 6.4.7, Yoast SEO, and Google Fonts. It is hosted under a Croatian registrar (CARNET) with DNS managed by infoitdns.com. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes CAPTCHA protection on forms to prevent abuse. However, some security best practices such as security headers are not explicitly detected, and there is no cookie consent mechanism despite GDPR privacy policy presence. From a security perspective, the site shows a moderate security posture with HTTPS, CAPTCHA, and no visible sensitive data exposure. The absence of explicit security headers and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are areas for improvement. The domain registration data is consistent with the website content and business type, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is a well-maintained, content-rich platform for a non-profit photography club with good technical and security foundations but could enhance privacy compliance and security transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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

  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 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

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

Fotoklub Čakovec operates as a non-profit photography club providing educational workshops, exhibitions, and publishing services primarily targeting local photography enthusiasts in Croatia. Their business model revolves around community engagement and education rather than commercial sales. Partnerships with local organizations such as TICM and European funding bodies support their activities. The club maintains a strong local presence with consistent content updates and a clear focus on photography education. Their market position is that of a respected local cultural and educational entity with a niche audience. Revenue streams likely include workshop fees and book sales. The partnership ecosystem includes logistics (BoxNow), publishing (fotoknjiga.hr), and local tech centers, indicating a collaborative operational model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CAPTCHA protection on forms to mitigate automated abuse. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the site is reasonably secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security headers, explicit policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and core to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform (version 6.4.7) with a well-structured theme and multiple plugins supporting photo galleries, SEO, and user engagement. The use of Google Fonts and jQuery is standard and well integrated. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design and modern CSS. Accessibility is basic but functional. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting is via a Croatian registrar (CARNET) with DNS managed by infoitdns.com. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Technical risks include lack of security headers and missing cookie consent mechanisms, which could impact compliance and security posture.
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.
