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

The website kryeministria.al serves as the official online presence of the Albanian Government's Council of Ministers. It provides governmental information, public communication, and policy updates primarily targeting Albanian citizens and government stakeholders. The site is positioned as a national government portal with an enterprise scale and a founding date around 2017. The content is professionally presented with consistent branding and good quality, reflecting its official status. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing common plugins such as Yoast SEO and qTranslate-XT for multilingual support. It integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is good, supported by structured data in JSON-LD format. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML content. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, terms of service, and a vulnerability disclosure policy, which are important for compliance and user trust. No WAF or content blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration details align well with the official government entity, indicating high legitimacy. Overall, the website is a credible and professional government portal with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implementing consent mechanisms, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to enhance trust and compliance.

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

  • 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

Kryeministria.al operates as the official digital platform for the Albanian Council of Ministers, serving as a key communication channel between the government and the public. Its market position is that of a national government entity, providing authoritative information and updates on governmental affairs. The business model is public service-oriented, focusing on transparency and information dissemination rather than commercial revenue streams. The target audience includes Albanian citizens, government officials, and international stakeholders interested in Albanian governance. The website's partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major analytics and marketing platforms but no direct business partners or subsidiaries were identified. Growth indicators are aligned with governmental digital transformation initiatives. The site maintains a consistent brand image and professional content quality, reinforcing its authoritative role in the public sector.

Security posture

The security posture of kryeministria.al is moderate. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. It employs standard security best practices such as avoiding exposure of sensitive data in the HTML. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk area. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy considerations. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from enhanced transparency regarding data protection and incident response to align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could be improved with formalized policies and user-facing disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user and site responsibilities.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress platform with a modern tech stack including jQuery and various analytics and marketing integrations. The use of Yoast SEO and structured data enhances search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. The site uses multiple font preloads and CSS optimizations. However, there is some technical debt in the form of missing privacy and security policy implementations and lack of advanced accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but can be modernized further with enhanced privacy and security controls.
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.
