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

The website midwivesbulgaria.org represents the Alians na Bulgarskite Akusherki (АБА), a Bulgarian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing the midwifery profession in Bulgaria. Established in 2012, the organization provides professional development, educational courses, and advocacy for midwives. The site is primarily in Bulgarian and targets midwives, students, and healthcare professionals. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Elementor and WooCommerce, hosted by SuperHosting.BG. It features a professional design, good navigation, and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some security best practices, but lacks advanced headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

АБА holds a strong position as the national alliance for Bulgarian midwives, offering educational seminars, conferences, and membership services. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on professional development and advocacy. The organization leverages international partnerships and certifications to enhance its credibility. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and paid courses. The target audience includes midwives, students, and healthcare stakeholders in Bulgaria. The website supports growth through event registrations and information dissemination. The partnership with international bodies and hosting of conferences indicates active engagement in the professional community.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, indicating a baseline security posture. However, it lacks several advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits transparency and preparedness. The absence of a cookie consent banner suggests incomplete privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, policies, and privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to improve protection against XSS and related attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  4. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, indicating a flexible and extensible infrastructure. Hosting is provided by SuperHosting.BG, a reputable Bulgarian hosting provider. The site uses several plugins for galleries, directories, and social sharing, which add functionality but also require maintenance to avoid security risks. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's needs but should be regularly maintained and optimized.
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.
