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

  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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • 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

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 · 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

Business profile

HAMAG BICRO operates as an essential government entity in Croatia, focusing on the small business and investment sector. Its market position is that of a national agency providing critical support services to entrepreneurs, including funding, development assistance, and commercialization support. The business model is service-oriented, funded by government resources, targeting Croatian entrepreneurs and startups. The agency's digital presence is professional and consistent, though lacking in some compliance documentation. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The agency's growth indicators and strategic positioning are aligned with national economic development goals.

Security posture

The website currently lacks visible security best practices such as security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are essential for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, indicating a potential gap in security transparency. The absence of contact information for security incidents further reduces readiness. While HTTPS is assumed (given the URL), SSL configuration details are not provided. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing recommended measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and performance monitoring to improve user experience and technical robustness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing The SEO Framework plugin for search engine optimization. It uses standard web technologies including JavaScript and FontAwesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. The site appears moderately optimized for mobile devices and has a good content structure. Hosting is likely provided by a Croatian provider associated with the registrar CARNET. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading or technical debt. There is an opportunity to improve technical implementation by adding accessibility features and security enhancements.
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.
