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

The website raamatuaasta.ee is a professionally designed cultural and educational platform dedicated to celebrating 500 years of Estonian books and language. It is supported by key Estonian governmental and cultural institutions and targets a broad audience including the general public, educators, students, and cultural enthusiasts. The site offers extensive event listings, exhibitions, and educational programs, reflecting a strong national cultural initiative. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like SvelteKit, integrates Google Maps API for event locations, and is hosted with Cloudflare DNS, ensuring good performance and security basics. However, it lacks published privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response information. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible, with a clear business model as a government-supported cultural project.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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 project is positioned as a key national cultural event with strong governmental backing, including the patronage of the Estonian President. Its business model is non-profit and focused on cultural promotion and education. The website acts as a hub for event information, exhibitions, and educational content related to Estonian literature history. Partnerships with museums, libraries, and cultural institutions are evident, enhancing its reach and credibility. The domain is newly registered in 2024, aligning with the event timeline starting in 2025. The site’s content and branding are consistent and professionally maintained, supporting its role as a flagship cultural initiative.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS, which provides a baseline of security and performance. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No forms with sensitive data collection were identified in the main content, reducing immediate risk. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap that should be addressed. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing policies, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  3. Add an incident response page or contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@) to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the SvelteKit framework, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS technologies. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates Google Maps API for interactive event location mapping. The content management appears to be handled by Directus CMS, inferred from asset URLs. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS and CDN, providing good availability and security. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. No heavy advertising or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach.
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.
