Security score

48/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Lučka uprava Novalja is the official Port Authority for Novalja, Croatia, managing port infrastructure and providing public services related to maritime transport and port operations. The website serves as an information hub for public procurement, tariffs, projects, and user inquiries, targeting residents, businesses, and maritime users in the region. The business operates as a small government entity with a domain age consistent with its establishment in 2011. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Smart Slider 3 and uses modern web fonts and responsive design, providing a good user experience and accessibility. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, which is a notable gap for GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 Port Authority holds a stable market position as a governmental transportation entity serving the Novalja region. Its business model focuses on managing port infrastructure and facilitating maritime activities. The website reflects transparency through public procurement documentation and project updates, indicating compliance with governmental regulations. The target audience includes local citizens, maritime operators, and businesses. The absence of social media presence and limited marketing tools suggest a focus on official communication rather than commercial expansion. The partnership with Croatian governmental and transport entities is evident through linked domains. Growth indicators include ongoing infrastructure projects and public engagement via news updates.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited reduces risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options weakens defense against DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are found, indicating limited public security transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site uses WordPress, which requires regular updates to mitigate plugin vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with PHP and jQuery, utilizing the Smart Slider 3 plugin for interactive content. It uses Google Fonts (Roboto and Lora) for typography and is hosted with DNS managed by tjstudio.info, with domain registration via eNom, LLC. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features including a screen reader plugin. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external analytics or advertising scripts detected, which benefits load times. However, the absence of modern security headers and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security infrastructure. The site structure and metadata are well-formed, supporting SEO and user navigation.
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.
