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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      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

      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';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 portal targets residents, students, job seekers, and entrepreneurs in the Pärnumaa region, positioning itself as a key gateway for local information and services. Its business model revolves around providing curated content and facilitating connections within the community. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm a stable and legitimate presence since 2010, managed by Elkdata OÜ, a known Estonian registrar and hosting provider. The site’s content strategy includes regular news updates and community stories, enhancing engagement and trust. While no direct commercial transactions are evident, the site supports local economic development by promoting businesses and employment opportunities.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure authentication plugins for user login, indicating a good baseline security posture. Cookie consent is implemented with user customization options, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, some standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerability risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet broader compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Consider adding visible contact information to facilitate user communication and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It integrates multiple third-party scripts including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and CookieYes for analytics and cookie management. The hosting and domain registration are managed by Elkdata OÜ, a reputable Estonian provider. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization in place. The site uses modern CSS and JavaScript libraries but could improve in accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly experience aligned with the site’s informational purpose.
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.
