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

GBG.bg is a well-established Bulgarian web directory and news aggregation platform operated by Net Info EAD, a reputable media company founded in 1997. The website serves as a comprehensive index of Bulgarian websites and provides curated news content from various partner media outlets. Its business model is primarily advertising-supported, leveraging multiple ad networks and analytics services to monetize traffic. The site targets Bulgarian internet users seeking quick access to local news and web resources. Technically, GBG.bg employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Tag Manager, hosted likely by its parent company. The website is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some accessibility features could be enhanced.

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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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 company holds a strong market position in Bulgaria as a trusted media directory and news portal. Its long domain age and consistent branding reinforce credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes major Bulgarian media sites and advertising networks, supporting diversified revenue streams. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital engagement via contact forms. The company maintains GDPR compliance and provides clear privacy and cookie policies, aligning with European data protection standards. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding direct user engagement and enhancing security transparency.

Security posture

GBG.bg demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. Security headers are present but could be improved by adding Content Security Policy and other modern headers. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and ad networks, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, indicating room for maturity in security governance. GDPR compliance is evident, but the lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  2. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers, including Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap and jQuery. It integrates multiple analytics and advertising technologies such as Gemius, Google Tag Manager, Smart Ad Server, and ID5 Sync. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in lazy loading and script management. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting appears stable and likely managed by the parent company. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and absence of advanced security headers.
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.
