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

Udruga Prijatelji životinja is a well-established Croatian non-profit organization founded in 2001, dedicated to promoting animal rights, vegetarianism, and veganism. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for advocacy, education, event promotion, and community engagement, targeting environmentally and ethically conscious individuals. Their market position is strong within the Croatian and regional animal rights community, supported by memberships in European and international organizations. Technically, the website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a traditional tech stack including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, supplemented by Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious tracking. While the site is functional and moderately optimized, some outdated libraries present potential security risks. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, with clear contact information and active social media presence.

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

      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

  • 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 organization operates as a non-profit advocacy group focusing on animal welfare and vegan lifestyle promotion. Its revenue streams likely include donations, memberships, event sponsorships, and webshop sales. The target audience includes vegans, vegetarians, animal rights activists, and environmentally conscious citizens. The NGO maintains partnerships with European and international animal rights coalitions, enhancing its credibility and reach. The website content and campaigns indicate active engagement in legislative advocacy, public education, and community events. Growth indicators include regular news updates, petitions, and festival organization. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized animal welfare organizations and local hosting providers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.5.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No public incident response or security policies are found, which may limit preparedness for security incidents. Data protection officer contact or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security contact channel to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, including jQuery 1.5.1 and Fancybox 1.3.1, which are outdated and may pose security risks. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-respecting user tracking. The site is hosted under Croatian registrars and recommended hosting providers, indicating local infrastructure. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. The site does not appear to use a common CMS, suggesting a custom or legacy system. Modernization opportunities include updating libraries, improving mobile responsiveness, and adding security headers to reduce technical debt and improve security posture.
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.
