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

6 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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

IVIA holds a strategic position as a regional development agency in Estonia, targeting investors and businesses interested in industrial expansion in Ida-Viru County. Its business model revolves around land sales and infrastructure development, supported by government funding and partnerships. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its greenfield projects with ready infrastructure and comprehensive investor support. The website's multilingual content and active social media presence indicate efforts to attract international investors. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its public sector nature. Growth indicators include ongoing development projects and active event promotion. The partnership with local authorities and service providers like Zone Media OÜ for hosting reflects a stable operational ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent is implemented with a locking overlay ensuring compliance with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The site uses reputable third-party services and plugins, but continuous monitoring for plugin vulnerabilities is recommended. Overall, the security measures are appropriate for the site's public sector role and data sensitivity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with server-side validation and consider additional anti-abuse measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Google APIs for maps and analytics. It uses Yoast SEO for metadata management and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration, although the latter is not fully configured. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts and uses modern CSS variables and grid/flex layouts for layout. Performance is moderate with caching and minification in place. Accessibility features such as skip links and focus-visible classes are implemented. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and structured JSON-LD data. Hosting is provided by Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar and hosting provider, consistent with the business location. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience.
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.
