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

Sihtasutus RAEK is a regional development foundation based in Rapla County, Estonia, focused on supporting balanced regional growth by providing professional development services to private, public, and third sector organizations. The website clearly targets entrepreneurs, citizen associations, youth, and local governments with a variety of support services including training, mentoring, and consulting. The organization is well-established with a domain age since 2010 and is part of a national network of county development centers. The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with common web technologies and SEO optimizations, providing a good user experience and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks advanced security headers and formal incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy image consistent with a government/non-profit entity.

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

10 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

      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

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

RAEK operates as a small-sized government/non-profit entity focused on regional development in Estonia. Its market position is that of a key regional support center within the national network of county development centers. The business model revolves around providing development services, training, and support to local entrepreneurs, associations, and governments. The website content and structure indicate a clear focus on local stakeholders and investors. The organization leverages partnerships within the county development network and EU co-funding, as evidenced by displayed logos. The digital presence is professional but could be enhanced with better privacy and security disclosures to align with compliance standards.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses standard WordPress security practices but lacks several security headers that could improve protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. There is no visible security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for transparency and trust. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms also indicates a gap in GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and user consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Swiper.js, and Popper.js. It uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and WP Rocket for caching and performance improvements. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and Facebook SDK. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site is hosted likely by Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar and hosting provider, consistent with the domain WHOIS data. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed to enhance the overall technical maturity.
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.
