The website 'Portal javne nabave' is an official Croatian government portal managed by the Ministry of Economy's Public Procurement Policy Directorate. It serves as a comprehensive resource for public procurement information, including news, legal frameworks, statistics, and educational materials targeted at public sector entities and suppliers. The portal maintains a consistent and professional brand presence with good content quality and accessibility features, including an accessibility toolbar and cookie consent mechanisms. Technically, the site is built on modern technologies such as Blazor and the Oqtane framework, utilizing Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and various JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with proper SEO and accessibility considerations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, includes essential security headers, and uses secure forms with anti-forgery tokens. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the portal demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations, making it a reliable source for public procurement information in Croatia.

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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 authoritative government source for public procurement in Croatia, supporting transparency and compliance in public sector purchasing. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, targeting government entities, suppliers, and stakeholders involved in procurement. The site leverages partnerships with government agencies and provides educational and advisory services, indicating a strategic approach to stakeholder engagement. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking reflects its public service nature. Growth indicators include regular news updates and educational initiatives. The portal's ecosystem includes links to EU sector dossiers and strategic procurement topics, highlighting its integration with broader regulatory frameworks.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and comprehensive security headers, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of anti-forgery tokens in forms enhances protection against CSRF attacks. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found. However, the absence of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and incident preparedness. No incident response contacts or security.txt files were identified, which are recommended best practices. Overall, the site is secure for its informational purpose but could benefit from enhanced security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding visible trust seals or certifications related to security and privacy.

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.
