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

Istarski filmski ured is a regional film commission established in 2015 under the Istarska kulturna agencija (IKA) to promote and facilitate audiovisual production in the Istria region of Croatia. The website serves as an informational and promotional platform targeting filmmakers and producers, offering services such as location scouting, permit facilitation, and liaison with public and private entities. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and several plugins for multilingual support, SEO, accessibility, and cookie compliance. The security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some security best practices observed, though there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response visibility. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no clear privacy policy or terms of service. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, impacting trust and legitimacy assessment. Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and serves its business purpose well, but could enhance transparency and security practices.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Istarski filmski ured operates as a government-affiliated entity focused on promoting the Istria region as a film destination. Its business model is service-oriented, providing free support to audiovisual productions to attract filming projects that can boost local economy and cultural visibility. The commission leverages partnerships with public authorities and private stakeholders to streamline filming logistics. Its market position is regional and niche, targeting film industry professionals. The website content and social media presence indicate active engagement with the target audience. However, the lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies may limit trust from some users. The entity benefits from its affiliation with IKA and Istarska županija, enhancing credibility within governmental and cultural sectors.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. Use of security and accessibility plugins further supports a secure and user-friendly environment. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests potential areas for hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt file or visible incident response contacts reduces preparedness for vulnerability reporting and incident handling. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced header policies and clearer security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  4. Make official contact information (email, phone, physical address) clearly available on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Divi theme, supported by a suite of plugins for multilingual content (WPML), SEO (Yoast), accessibility, cookie compliance, and media galleries. It uses jQuery and Facebook SDK scripts for interactivity and social media integration. The site loads multimedia content such as videos and images efficiently and is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The technical stack is well-suited for the site's purpose but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
