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

6 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

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

      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

Mladinska knjiga holds a strong market position in Slovenia's retail and publishing sectors, leveraging both physical stores and e-commerce platforms like emka.si. The business model combines direct sales, event marketing, and corporate services. The company benefits from a well-established brand and partnerships with related domains. Growth indicators include active marketing campaigns, new product launches, and a robust social media presence. The company appears to be large in size with a history dating back to at least 2019 for the domain registration. Strategic partnerships with design and development firms enhance their digital capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Consent mechanisms for cookies and tracking scripts are implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of a security policy page, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file indicates gaps in transparency and readiness for vulnerability reporting. The use of third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate risks. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to reduce risk of XSS attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by linking to data retention policies and DPO contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 8 CMS with a modern front-end including responsive design and accessibility features. Integration with multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but domain registration is consistent and stable. The technical stack is well maintained but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
