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

The website pristupinfo.hr serves as the official online presence of the Croatian Commissioner for Information, providing comprehensive resources related to the right of access to information. It targets both users seeking information and public authorities, offering legal frameworks, educational webinars, open data initiatives, and event calendars. The site is well-positioned as a government transparency and information access portal with a medium organizational size and a founding date consistent with its domain registration in 2013. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Fusion Builder. It is hosted by CARNET, a reputable Croatian academic network, ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and aligned with its governmental role. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security policy transparency, and enhanced security headers would further strengthen its 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

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

  • 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 Croatian Commissioner for Information operates in the government sector, focusing on transparency and public access to information. Its competitive advantage lies in its official mandate and comprehensive legal and educational resources. The business model is service-oriented, providing regulatory oversight, guidance, and public education. Revenue streams are likely government-funded. The target customers include public authorities, officials, and citizens seeking information access. Growth indicators include active event scheduling and ongoing educational initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes Croatian academic networks and public administration schools. The organization's operations reflect a stable government entity with a clear mission and market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA, and no visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. The absence of a published security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Notes

The website uses a WordPress CMS with a modern and well-supported tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and Fusion Builder for layout management. Hosting by CARNET provides a stable and reputable infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with structured data enhancing SEO. Performance is moderate, suggesting potential for optimization. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by updating security headers and improving privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
