Risk levelMedium

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

Novian Eesti OÜ operates the KOVTP service portal, providing IT infrastructure and software development services primarily targeted at local governments in Estonia. The company has a long-standing history dating back to 1970 and is part of the Novian group, positioning itself as a key player in e-government solutions. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information and user support resources. Technically, the site uses Liferay CMS, jQuery, Bootstrap, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers are missing and jQuery version is outdated. Privacy compliance is adequate with a cookie policy and GDPR considerations, but no explicit privacy or security policies are prominently available. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the business identity, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

8 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 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';…

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 company targets local government entities with a subscription-based service model charging 70 euros per month for the KOVTP portal, including hosting, maintenance, and support. Novian Eesti leverages its historical expertise and parent company backing to maintain a strong market position in Estonia's public sector IT services. The website content and structure reflect a focus on usability and support, with extensive user guides and training offerings. The partnership with Novian group enhances credibility and resource availability. Growth potential lies in expanding service modules and enhancing digital government solutions.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses standard security practices such as cookie consent banners. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version poses a potential vulnerability risk. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adopting additional headers, updating libraries, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade jQuery to the latest stable version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website.
  4. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details and ensure GDPR compliance is clearly communicated.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing jQuery 1.10.2 and Bootstrap for frontend components. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Technical debt is indicated by the use of an outdated jQuery version and missing modern security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve security configurations, and enhance accessibility features to improve overall user experience and security.
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.
