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

Nezavisno udruženje novinara Srbije (NUNS) is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to supporting journalists and defending media freedom in Serbia. The website serves as a platform for advocacy, legal and psychological support, incident reporting, and dissemination of news and reports related to media rights. It targets journalists, media professionals, and the general public interested in media freedom issues. The organization has a solid market position as a recognized independent journalists' association with a history dating back to 1994. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, some technical improvements are recommended, such as enabling DNSSEC and implementing additional security headers to enhance security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are important for protecting against DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Contact information is primarily via a contact form and social media channels, with no explicit company emails or phone numbers published. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security measures and improved privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and conducting regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

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. 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.

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

NUNS operates as a non-profit media association focused on advocacy and support for journalists in Serbia. Its business model revolves around membership fees, donations, and providing legal and psychological assistance. The organization leverages a network of partner domains for donations, membership payments, and incident reporting. The target market includes Serbian journalists and media professionals concerned with media freedom and safety. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with consistent branding and a clear mission. Growth indicators include active publication of reports and engagement on social media platforms. The partnership ecosystem includes related subdomains and databases supporting their mission. The organization maintains a credible market presence with a domain age consistent with its founding date.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential DNS spoofing and clickjacking risks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the provided data. The use of popular plugins like Elementor and Yoast SEO requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response mechanisms and security contact channels are not explicitly provided, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Establish clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and keep WordPress core, themes, and plugins up to date to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing tracking. The site loads a variety of CSS and JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata for social media sharing. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security configuration. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's needs but could benefit from enhanced security configurations 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.
