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

Novena d.o.o. is a Croatian digital media studio specializing in multimedia solutions for cultural heritage interpretation, museums, and tourist destinations. Their services include multimedia content creation, web design and hosting, 3D modeling, AR/VR applications, mobile apps, and photo/video production. The company targets cultural institutions and businesses seeking innovative digital media solutions. The website reflects a well-established small business with a consistent brand and positive client testimonials, indicating a stable market position in Croatia. Technically, the website uses a mix of older and modern web technologies including jQuery 1.8.1, UIkit, and Splide.js. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries poses potential security risks. The site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but no explicit security headers or advanced policies are detected. The contact form includes a honeypot field to reduce spam, but overall security best practices could be improved. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security measures and privacy compliance to improve trust and reduce risk.

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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Novena operates in the niche market of digital media solutions for cultural and heritage sectors, leveraging multimedia and IT technologies. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized services tailored to museums and interpretative centers, combining software development with creative media production. Revenue likely derives from project-based contracts with public and private cultural institutions. The company maintains a strong local presence in Croatia with a portfolio of recognized clients and ongoing projects. Their partnership ecosystem includes cultural institutions and technology providers. Growth indicators include recent and upcoming projects with clear timelines. Strategic observations suggest focusing on modernizing technology stack and enhancing compliance to maintain competitive edge.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No explicit privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness is not documented, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. Data protection practices include a spam honeypot in the contact form but lack transparency on data retention or processing. The security culture appears informal with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  4. Establish and display incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct a security audit and penetration test to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on a custom CMS platform with a frontend built on jQuery, UIkit, and other JavaScript libraries. While the design is modern and responsive, the use of outdated jQuery 1.8.1 is a technical debt and security risk. Performance is moderate with external dependencies on Google Analytics and CDN-hosted libraries. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include potential vulnerabilities from legacy libraries and lack of advanced security configurations. Modernization opportunities include upgrading the tech stack, improving accessibility features, and implementing automated performance optimizations.
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.
