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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 agency holds an important position in regional development within Slovenia, leveraging partnerships and European funding programs. Their business model centers on providing consulting, project coordination, and support services to regional stakeholders. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency and community engagement, with multiple projects and programs highlighted. The presence of social media and multilingual support suggests efforts to broaden outreach. No commercial or revenue-generating activities are evident, consistent with a government/non-profit entity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, vulnerability disclosure, or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The use of reputable WordPress plugins and regular updates is implied but should be verified. Overall, the security risk is low but could be enhanced by formalizing security documentation and response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data handling.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Ensure all WordPress core, themes, and plugins are regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform (WordPress) with modern front-end technologies including jQuery and Elementor page builder. It uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons, and integrates social media SDKs such as Facebook. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features such as an accessibility toolbar are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the agency's regional focus.
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.
