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

The website pristupinfo.hr serves as the official portal for the Croatian Information Commissioner, focusing on the protection of the right to access information. It provides comprehensive resources, legal frameworks, events, and public authority data aimed at both users and public bodies. The site is well-positioned as a governmental transparency and information access hub in Croatia, offering key services such as consultations, open data reuse, and legal guidance. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Fusion Builder, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA, ensuring a good level of digital maturity and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA integration, though there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. Overall, the site demonstrates high business credibility and trustworthiness, with clear contact information and active content updates. Privacy compliance is adequate but could benefit from explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, formalizing incident response contacts, and improving privacy compliance to align with GDPR best practices.

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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 Information Commissioner operates as a governmental entity providing transparency and access to public information. Its market position is authoritative within the government sector, targeting public authorities and citizens seeking information access rights. The business model is service-oriented, funded by the government and EU social funds, focusing on legal compliance, public education, and data transparency. The site supports growth through educational webinars, public consultations, and open data initiatives. Partnerships with other government portals and agencies strengthen its ecosystem. The presence of subdomains for public authority listings and decision search indicates a structured approach to service delivery. The organization maintains a medium-sized digital footprint with consistent branding and professional content.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, integration of Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, and no visible exposure of sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for enhancement. There is no explicit security policy or incident response information available, which could impact readiness and transparency in case of security incidents. The site does not display cookie consent mechanisms, which may affect GDPR compliance. Overall, the security practices are good but could be improved by adopting additional headers and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy controls.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details to explicitly cover data retention and user rights for better compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using the Avada theme and Fusion Builder framework, supported by plugins such as Yoast SEO, The Events Calendar, Contact Form 7, and Shortcodes Ultimate. It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries, with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive CSS and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading for images and asynchronous script loading. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. Structured data is implemented using JSON-LD for SEO and event data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though performance optimization could be further enhanced.
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.
