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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Cloudflare, Google APIs

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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 portal occupies a key position as the official source for public procurement information in Croatia, targeting government agencies, suppliers, and interested public stakeholders. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, focusing on transparency, education, and regulatory compliance. The site regularly publishes news, legal updates, and statistical reports, indicating active content management and engagement with its audience. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its government mandate. The domain's longevity since 2008 and registration under CARNET further reinforce its credibility. The portal's ecosystem includes links to EU directives and international cooperation, suggesting integration with broader regulatory frameworks. Strategic observations highlight the portal's role in fostering transparency and compliance in public procurement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens used in forms, reducing risks of common web attacks. Accessibility and privacy consent tools are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not detected in the HTML content, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The site lacks a publicly visible security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a government informational portal but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance incident response readiness by providing clear security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue to maintain and improve accessibility and privacy compliance features to uphold user trust and regulatory adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Blazor WebAssembly and Oqtane CMS, supported by Bootstrap for responsive design and various JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience. Hosting is provided by CARNET, a reputable Croatian academic network, ensuring reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in script loading and caching strategies. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility tools such as contrast modes, font size adjustments, and keyboard navigation aids. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and analytics integration could be improved to align with best practices.
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.
