IT Blog is a Romanian technology-focused content publisher specializing in reviews of games, hardware, software, and gadgets. The site targets Romanian-speaking technology enthusiasts and gamers, providing detailed articles, tips, and product recommendations. The business model relies on content monetization through advertising and affiliate links. The website has been active since at least 2012, indicating a stable presence in its niche market. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google Adsense and Analytics for monetization and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with clear navigation and consistent branding. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks some advanced security headers; no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy and cookie policies are present and appear GDPR compliant, though direct contact emails and phone numbers are not publicly listed, with contact primarily via a form. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for its audience.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
