51/100

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

The website kalateave.ee serves as the Fisheries Information Centre for Estonia, focusing on enhancing knowledge and sustainability in fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic resource utilization. It targets industry professionals, non-profits, research institutions, and the general public interested in fisheries. The site offers informational content, research publications, educational materials, and event announcements, positioning itself as a central knowledge hub in the Estonian fisheries sector. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome, and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks some accessibility features and security headers. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protections, but there is room for improvement in privacy compliance and explicit security policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but should enhance privacy transparency and security headers to align with best practices.

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.

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

  • Security headers: 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

Kalateave.ee operates as an important informational and educational platform within the Estonian fisheries sector. Its business model revolves around knowledge dissemination, stakeholder collaboration, and public awareness. The site supports multiple fisheries-related initiatives and partners with educational and research entities, as evidenced by linked domains and resources. The absence of commercial elements suggests a non-profit or government-affiliated entity. The target audience includes fisheries entrepreneurs, NGOs, and researchers. The site’s content and event calendar indicate active engagement with the community. The platform’s partnerships and resource links strengthen its market position as a trusted fisheries knowledge center in Estonia.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and forms include CSRF tokens, indicating attention to input security. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies despite use of Google Analytics, which may pose regulatory risks under GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the site is secure for informational purposes but should improve privacy transparency and security headers to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with the Astroid framework, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap 4, FontAwesome, and Google Fonts for UI and styling. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics, and ShareThis for social sharing. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The site uses CSRF tokens in forms, indicating secure form handling. However, no advanced hosting or CDN information is detected. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and adequate for an informational website but has room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
