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

The website represents the official online presence of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Croatia, serving as a central hub for disseminating information related to economic policies, energy approvals, public procurement, and consumer protection. It targets citizens, businesses, and government officials, providing access to news, documents, e-services, and public calls. The site is well-branded with consistent government identity and links to related official portals, reinforcing its authoritative position within the Croatian government ecosystem. From a technical perspective, the website employs a traditional tech stack including jQuery, Modernizr, and various UI libraries, alongside Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. However, some JavaScript libraries are outdated, which could pose security risks if not regularly updated. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy as a government entity with consistent registration details. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and professional government portal with good content quality and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements include enhancing security headers, updating legacy scripts, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies to strengthen the security posture and user trust.

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

    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';…

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 Ministry of Economy operates as a key government institution responsible for economic regulation, energy policy, and consumer protection in Croatia. Its market position is that of a national authority with no direct commercial competition. The business model is public service-oriented, focusing on regulatory functions and service provision to citizens and businesses. Revenue streams are government-funded, with no commercial transactions on the site. The ministry maintains partnerships with other government bodies and EU institutions, as evidenced by numerous linked domains. Growth indicators include active public calls and e-service expansions. The ministry's strategic focus on energy and economic competitiveness aligns with national and EU priorities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.8.2 could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not patched. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks were found. Overall, the site is secure for informational purposes but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential risks.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more comprehensive privacy and terms of service documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web technology stack with jQuery 1.8.2, Modernizr, jQuery UI, Owl Carousel, and Fancybox for UI components and interactivity. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as text size adjustment and accessibility mode. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The CMS or hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site could benefit from modernization by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving security headers. SEO and metadata are adequately implemented with Open Graph and Twitter card tags.
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.
