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

  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 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
  • 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 operates in the transportation sector, focusing on highway infrastructure management and toll collection. Its business model is primarily government-funded with revenue streams from tolls and related services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support and integration of traffic and toll calculation tools. Partnerships with EU projects and adherence to regulatory frameworks are evident. The company maintains active communication channels including social media and a dedicated info phone line. Growth indicators include ongoing infrastructure projects and digital service enhancements. The absence of direct contact emails suggests a controlled communication approach, likely centralized through phone and official channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes CSRF protection tokens, indicating a baseline security posture. Cookie consent is implemented in compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options may expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public information site but could be improved with enhanced headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to standardize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  4. Enhance monitoring and auditing of third-party scripts and libraries to prevent inclusion of vulnerable components.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with modular CSS and optimized assets. It includes interactive features such as an interactive map and toll calculation tools. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility options like font size adjustment and contrast settings. Performance appears moderate with deferred script loading and optimized images. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but the presence of HTTPS and structured routing indicates a professionally managed infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and implement advanced security headers for enhanced protection.
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.
