Licitatie-publica.ro is a Romanian public procurement information platform operated by Tender Service Group. It provides businesses with timely alerts, business intelligence, reports, and consultancy services to help them identify and win public tenders in Romania and the EU. The platform targets companies seeking to increase revenues through public contracts by offering comprehensive data and tools to monitor opportunities and competitors. Technically, the site is built on a modern Angular framework with PrimeNG components, integrating Google Tag Manager and Userpilot for analytics and user engagement. The website is well-optimized for mobile devices and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response contacts. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for this business type, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the site is legitimate, professional, and serves a niche business audience effectively.

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

7 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 platform holds a strong position in the Romanian public procurement market, leveraging subscription-based services to deliver alerts, market insights, and consultancy. Its competitive advantage lies in providing detailed, up-to-date tender information and business intelligence that supports decision-making and competitive bidding. The business model focuses on recurring revenue through subscriptions and value-added services. The target customers are businesses interested in public sector contracts, including SMEs and larger enterprises. The partnership with Tender Service Group and related domains strengthens its market presence. Growth indicators include multilingual support and international tender coverage. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance direct contact availability and expand security transparency to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of explicit security or incident response policies and contacts is a gap in security culture and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase visibility of contact information to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 20.3.2 with PrimeNG UI components, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end architecture. It uses Google Tag Manager and Userpilot for analytics and user engagement, reflecting a mature digital marketing approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and hreflang for multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. No common CMS detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks include the lack of advanced security headers and limited accessibility features, which could impact user experience and security posture.
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.
