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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

HTZ holds a strong market position as Croatia's official tourism organization, leveraging government backing and long-standing domain registration since 1997. Its competitive advantage lies in authoritative content, official support programs, and extensive promotional campaigns. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on sector development and market intelligence. Partnerships with official Croatian domains and mobile applications enhance its ecosystem. The site reflects a mature digital presence with ongoing content updates and event management.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, enhancing security and performance. Cookie compliance is implemented with user consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, and no public security policy or incident response contacts are provided. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide visible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and data protection officer.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery 3.7.1 and Bootstrap 3.4.5 for responsive design. It integrates Font Awesome icons and uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN, contributing to moderate to good performance. The site is mobile-optimized with accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some CSS and JS libraries are loaded from multiple CDN versions which could be optimized. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and scalable tourism portal.
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.
