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

The website www.registryagency.bg represents the official online presence of the Bulgarian Registry Agency, an executive agency under the Ministry of Justice. It provides comprehensive public registry services including commercial, property, BULSTAT, and marital property relations registers. The agency serves Bulgarian citizens, legal entities, and institutions requiring access to official registry data and administrative services. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and offers clear navigation with multilingual support (Bulgarian and English). The business model is government-operated, focusing on transparency and public service delivery. The agency holds a strong market position as the authoritative source for registry information in Bulgaria. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. It is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, though some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are missing. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is evident with a GDPR-focused privacy policy and cookie policy, though a cookie consent mechanism is absent. Security posture is solid but could be improved by adding missing security headers and publishing incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy, consistent with the agency's government status and long operational history since 2004. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and serves its public function effectively.

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.

Priority findings

8 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 Registry Agency operates as a key government institution providing essential registry and administrative services in Bulgaria. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of multiple public registers. Revenue streams are likely government-funded, focusing on service fees for registry access and filings. The target customers include businesses, legal entities, and citizens requiring official registry data. Growth indicators include ongoing digitalization efforts and European project participation. The agency maintains partnerships with related informational portals and provides extensive public communication channels. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining high trust, data security, and compliance with EU regulations to sustain its authoritative role.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of several key security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) represents a moderate risk that could be exploited via clickjacking or content injection attacks. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure contacts limits transparency and responsiveness to security issues. GDPR compliance is addressed through a dedicated privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may pose compliance risks. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formalized incident management disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and injection risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to prevent clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with EU cookie regulations.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information, possibly via a security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and Google Analytics/Tag Manager for user tracking and analytics. The HTML is valid and well-structured, with proper meta tags for SEO and social media integration (Open Graph and Twitter Cards). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the agency's public service mission effectively.
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.
