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

Hrvatska zajednica županija is the official Croatian County Association, providing a centralized platform for news, projects, international cooperation, and information about member counties. The website serves local government officials, citizens, media, and international partners, positioning itself as an authoritative source for county-related information in Croatia. Founded in 2008, it maintains a consistent and professional online presence with clear branding and official contact details. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Swiper.js for interactive sliders, Font Awesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. It is hosted with Cloudflare DNS services and uses HTTPS to secure communications. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and modern libraries but lacks explicit security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. No advertising or tracking services are detected, indicating a privacy-respecting approach. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with a strong alignment between WHOIS data and website content, indicating legitimacy. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and accessibility would enhance its security posture and user trust.

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 Croatian County Association operates as a government entity focused on coordination and information dissemination among Croatian counties. Its market position is strong within the local government sector, serving as a hub for news, projects, and international cooperation. The business model is non-profit and service-oriented, targeting government officials, citizens interested in regional developments, and international partners. The association leverages partnerships with county-level domains and maintains active social media channels to extend its reach. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and international collaborations. The website reflects a stable and mature digital presence aligned with its official mandate.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. There is no publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries but lacks explicit validation or security controls visible in the frontend. Overall, the security posture is adequate for informational content but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and frontend code to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks such as Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for consistent styling and iconography. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS services, ensuring reliable domain resolution and potential CDN benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph properties. However, the site lacks advanced CMS indicators and could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce risk.
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.
