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.

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

Hiiumaa Arenduskeskus operates as a small, essential entity in the government/non-profit sector, targeting local entrepreneurs, NGOs, tourism professionals, and youth in Hiiumaa. Their business model centers on providing consulting, training, event spaces, and community support, funded likely through public or regional development funds. The organization leverages partnerships with local stakeholders and maintains an active online presence via social media and newsletters. Growth indicators include diverse service offerings and active event calendars. The website content and structure reflect a focused regional development strategy with clear segmentation of services and target audiences.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits transparency. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating good maintenance practices. To improve, the organization should implement security headers, publish security policies, and establish incident response contacts to enhance security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.

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.
