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

Občina Hrpelje - Kozina is the official municipal government website serving the Hrpelje - Kozina municipality in Slovenia. It provides a wide range of local government services including electronic application submissions, online tax payments, public notices, local news, events, and participatory budgeting. The website targets residents and businesses within the municipality, positioning itself as a key local government authority. The business model is focused on public service and administration, with a small organizational size and a founding date consistent with the domain registration in 2005. The site maintains consistent branding and trust indicators such as official contact details and GDPR compliance information. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, TinyMCE, and other JavaScript libraries for UI and interactivity. It is hosted by a reputable Slovenian hosting provider NEOSERV.si. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. The CMS appears to be a custom Slovenian municipal platform called E-občina. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and includes user alerts for outdated browsers. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced security and privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and long-standing registration, matching the municipal entity. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and professional municipal portal with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, adding security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and maintaining up-to-date third-party libraries to improve security posture and privacy compliance.

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.

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

  2. Security headers

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 municipality of Hrpelje - Kozina operates as a local government entity providing essential public services to its residents and businesses. Its market position is that of a small-sized government authority with a focus on digital transformation through e-government services. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public budgets, and aims to enhance citizen engagement via participatory budgeting and online communication channels. The website reflects a mature digital presence with partnerships linking to regional tourism and cultural sites, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include ongoing infrastructure projects and active public tenders. The municipality leverages social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube to extend its outreach. The strategic observations highlight a stable operation with opportunities to enhance digital security and privacy compliance.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is moderate to good. The site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, which is fundamental for secure communications. It includes user warnings for outdated browsers, promoting safer browsing experiences. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML and uses standard libraries, but regular updates and vulnerability scanning are recommended. GDPR compliance is addressed via a dedicated privacy policy page, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, representing a compliance gap. Overall, the security culture appears basic with room for improvement in formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by displaying certifications or trust badges related to security and data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom Slovenian municipal CMS platform called E-občina, utilizing popular front-end technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design and interactivity. It integrates TinyMCE for content editing and uses moment.js and datetimepicker for date/time functionalities. The hosting is provided by NEOSERV.si, a reputable Slovenian hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured JSON-LD data describing the organization. The technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and cookie consent indicates areas for modernization and compliance enhancement.
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.
