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

ITS Estonia is a specialized platform uniting the intelligent transportation and logistics systems community within Estonia. It serves as a cooperation and innovation hub for public and private sectors, supporting knowledge sharing, export development, and pilot projects in smart mobility. The website reflects a focused business model targeting ITS stakeholders and companies, with a clear national and international collaboration emphasis. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, leveraging modern web technologies and integrating GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. The presence of Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel indicates moderate user tracking balanced with privacy considerations. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not evident, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business objectives, though it lacks explicit contact and security policy details.

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

5 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 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';…

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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 website positions ITS Estonia as a key player in Estonia's ITS ecosystem, backed by the Estonian ICT Cluster. Its business model revolves around fostering innovation, facilitating export, and piloting ITS solutions. The target audience includes government entities, private ITS companies, and international ITS networks. The site’s content and linked partner domains reinforce its credibility and integration within Estonia's digital and industrial landscape. The absence of direct contact details may indicate a focus on organizational rather than direct consumer engagement. The partnership ecosystem is strong, with links to official Estonian digital and industry initiatives, enhancing its market position and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer restrictions. The use of a GDPR cookie compliance plugin and visible cookie consent mechanisms indicate compliance with privacy regulations. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represent potential vulnerabilities. No security policy or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder effective communication in case of security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing additional DNS and HTTP security measures and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, using jQuery and standard web fonts from Google Fonts. It integrates third-party analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, managed via GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and alternate language links. Performance is moderate, with some custom scrollbar scripts and lazy loading for images. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid 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.
