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

Gradska knjižnica i čitaonica Ivana Belostenca is a small, non-profit public library and cultural institution located in Ozalj, Croatia. It offers library services, cultural events, and access to significant historical works such as the Gazophylacium bilingual dictionary. The website serves as an informational portal for the local community and cultural enthusiasts. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS using common web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Maps API. The hosting is provided by ZoNet, a reputable Croatian hosting provider. The site is accessible, with clear navigation and consistent branding, but shows room for improvement in mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking important security headers and privacy compliance documentation. No forms or tracking scripts are present, minimizing privacy risks but also limiting interactivity. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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 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
  • 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 institution holds a stable market position as a local cultural and educational hub with a history dating back to 1960. Its key competitive advantage lies in its cultural heritage and unique collections such as the Gazophylacium dictionary. The business model is non-profit, focusing on community service rather than revenue generation. The target audience includes local residents, students, researchers, and cultural enthusiasts. The website reflects a modest but consistent digital presence with partnerships including hosting by ZoNet and design credits to markostupic.com. Growth indicators are limited but stable, with ongoing cataloging efforts. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital services and improve compliance with data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No forms or user input fields are present, limiting attack vectors but also reducing user engagement. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and security policy documentation are not found, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. The use of common JavaScript libraries and Joomla CMS suggests a need for regular patching and vulnerability management. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Conduct a security audit of third-party libraries and update Joomla CMS and extensions regularly to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and inclusivity.
  5. Establish an incident response plan and publish security contact information to improve security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a YouGrids template and K2 content component. It uses standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, MooTools, and Bootstrap. Google Maps API is integrated for location display. The hosting provider is ZoNet, a Croatian hosting company. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization is basic, with some responsive CSS but no advanced adaptive features. Accessibility features are minimal. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating minimal data collection. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced 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.
