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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 portal occupies a niche market in Slovenia focused on leadership and management knowledge sharing. It leverages its association with Združenje Manager to build credibility and attract a professional audience. Revenue streams likely include memberships, event registrations, and training sessions. The partnership ecosystem includes the parent organization and a web agency for digital services. Growth indicators include regular content updates and event promotions. The business model emphasizes community building and knowledge dissemination rather than direct product sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and GDPR cookie consent implemented. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident in the HTML source, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. The use of reputable plugins and absence of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from additional hardening and formal incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize security risks.
  5. Consider adding explicit business contact emails and phone numbers to improve transparency and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing modern front-end libraries such as Swiper.js for sliders and Featherlight for lightbox functionality. It uses Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for typography and analytics, respectively. Performance optimization is handled by WP Rocket, including lazy loading and prefetching. The GDPR cookie compliance is managed by the Moove plugin, which provides a consent banner and settings modal. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Some images have lazy load errors, which should be fixed to improve user experience. Hosting details are not explicit but the registrar is Webtasy, a Slovenian company. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained with room for minor improvements.
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.
