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

9 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

  2. Security headers

    • High

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 website positions Krapinsko-zagorska županija as a key regional government entity providing essential public services and information. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive content, and integration with multiple partner institutions and agencies. The business model is non-commercial, focused on governance and public service delivery. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government entity. The target customer segments include local residents, businesses, tourists, and other government bodies. Growth indicators include active news updates, public tenders, and digital service offerings such as ePrijave (online applications). The partnership ecosystem is extensive, linking to various regional agencies, development centers, and public institutions, enhancing service delivery and community engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and abuse on forms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Security headers are not fully confirmed, suggesting potential enhancement opportunities. The site follows GDPR compliance with clear privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and public incident response information to strengthen trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and provide clear guidance for security incidents.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and core to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible trust signals such as certifications or compliance badges related to security and privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, leveraging a modern and widely supported CMS platform. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Interactive elements are powered by Swiper.js for sliders and various plugins for forms, newsletters, and lightbox galleries. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with localized Croatian language support and SEO enhancements via Rank Math plugin. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted resources. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and incomplete security header implementation. Opportunities exist to modernize further by adopting HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 protocols and enhancing caching strategies for faster load times.
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.
