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

8 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

      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

Presscut holds a strong market position as Croatia's first and foremost media monitoring agency, leveraging innovative technology combined with professional expertise. Its business model revolves around subscription-based media monitoring services, supported by proprietary digital platforms like Newton One. The company targets public institutions, private enterprises, and individuals seeking media insights. Partnerships with Newton media group and membership in FIBEP enhance its credibility and reach. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on quality service delivery and client engagement. The presence of mobile applications and advanced analytics tools suggests ongoing investment in digital transformation and customer experience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protecting login forms. GDPR compliance is evident through a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data protection officer contact visibility and privacy policy comprehensiveness to further align with GDPR best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, WP Rocket for caching and performance, and jQuery Fancybox for UI elements. Google Fonts and Slick Slider enhance visual appeal and interactivity. The site loads efficiently with preloading and lazy loading techniques. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and accessible navigation. Structured data in JSON-LD format is properly implemented for SEO benefits. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details were not identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and user-friendly media monitoring platform.
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.
