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

Imamo pravo znati is a Croatian non-profit online platform operated by the organization Gong, established in 2015. The website facilitates public access to government-held information by enabling citizens to submit Freedom of Information requests to over 6,800 public authorities in Croatia. It also archives and publicly publishes these requests and responses, promoting transparency and civic engagement. The platform is supported by Code for Croatia and Gong, maintained by volunteers, and targets Croatian citizens, journalists, and transparency advocates. Technically, the website is built on the Alaveteli framework, leveraging Ruby on Rails and jQuery, hosted behind Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. It uses Google Analytics and Cloudflare Insights for traffic and performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a fast performance profile. Security is adequate with HTTPS enforced and clientTransferProhibited domain status, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. From a security perspective, the site follows good practices such as CSRF protection and does not request sensitive personal data via forms. However, it lacks explicit security and incident response policies publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy, though no explicit cookie consent mechanism is implemented. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and serves an important civic function. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent to enhance compliance and security posture.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 platform occupies a unique niche in the Croatian market as a dedicated Freedom of Information portal, supported by reputable civic organizations. Its business model is non-profit, relying on volunteer contributions and donations. The site demonstrates strong market positioning with a large archive of requests and a broad coverage of public authorities. Partnerships with Code for Croatia and Gong enhance credibility and resource access. The target audience includes citizens seeking government transparency and journalists requiring official information. The platform's growth is indicated by the volume of requests and active community involvement. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand outreach, improve compliance, and strengthen security to maintain trust and operational resilience.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) represent gaps. No direct contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures are provided, limiting incident response readiness. Privacy policies are comprehensive, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature open-source FOI platform (Alaveteli) using Ruby on Rails and jQuery, ensuring a stable and maintainable codebase. Hosting behind Cloudflare provides CDN and DNS resilience. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is fast with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers indicates room for technical hardening. The platform benefits from community support and open-source transparency but should prioritize security enhancements and formal documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
