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

Germanijak.hr is a leading Croatian sports news portal established in 2014, offering comprehensive sports news coverage, transfer updates, football results, and betting tips. It targets sports enthusiasts and bettors primarily in Croatia, positioning itself as the most visited sports portal in the country. The website leverages modern web technologies including Vue.js/Nuxt.js frameworks, Cloudflare CDN, and integrates social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok to enhance user engagement. Advertising is managed through Google AdSense and related Google ad services, supplemented by push notifications via OneSignal. The site implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms using a third-party privacy SDK, although explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not detected in the provided content. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare DNS, but could benefit from explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with good technical implementation and business credibility, though privacy compliance and contact transparency could be improved.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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
  • 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

Germanijak operates in the media sector focusing on sports news and betting advisory services. Its market position as Croatia's most visited sports portal indicates strong brand recognition and audience reach. The business model relies on advertising revenue, primarily through Google AdSense, and possibly affiliate betting partnerships. The integration of multiple social media channels supports audience growth and engagement. Founded in 2014, the company has established a medium-sized digital footprint with consistent branding and quality content. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational enhancement. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, indicating an independent operation. The website's technical infrastructure and partnerships with reputable providers like Hrvatski Telekom and Cloudflare support reliable service delivery.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS services, providing a solid foundation for secure communications. Security headers are partially present, with room for improvement by explicitly adding headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. The use of third-party SDKs for social media and privacy consent introduces some risk but is standard practice. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact information limits transparency for security researchers. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent but lacks a detailed privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Vue.js/Nuxt.js for frontend rendering, Tailwind CSS for styling, and Swiper.js for interactive components. Hosting and DNS are managed by Hrvatski Telekom and Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security. Advertising is integrated via Google Publisher Tags and AdSense, with tracking through Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and includes push notifications via OneSignal. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential technical debt in this area. The use of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring for security and privacy compliance.
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.
