Risk levelHigh

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

Ride & Bike 2 is a regional tourism promotion website focusing on the natural and cultural heritage of several regions in Croatia and Slovenia. It provides information about outdoor activities, cultural sites, and local attractions, targeting tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. The website leverages WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. While the site is well-structured and visually consistent, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, as well as explicit contact information, which impacts its compliance and trustworthiness. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and incident response contacts. Overall, the site is functional and serves its tourism promotion purpose but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security 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

13 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

  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"

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 website positions itself as a niche regional tourism promoter, focusing on cultural and natural heritage areas in Croatia and Slovenia. Its business model revolves around providing informational content and virtual experiences to attract tourists. The absence of direct commercial services or e-commerce indicates a promotional or informational business model likely supported by regional or EU funding (as indicated by Interreg V-A collaboration). The target audience includes tourists interested in cycling, hiking, and cultural exploration. The site’s partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no direct business contacts or certifications are visible, suggesting a small-scale operation with a focus on content delivery rather than commercial transactions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that enhance protection against common web attacks. No forms or input fields were detected that could pose direct injection risks. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no explicit privacy controls or cookie consent mechanisms were found, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, which is a security and compliance shortfall. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance site security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct usability testing to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using WPBakery Page Builder and jQuery, indicating a standard and widely supported technology stack. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, which is a modern marketing tool. The site loads CSS and JS assets optimized via Autoptimize plugin, suggesting some performance optimization efforts. Mobile optimization appears good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No broken links or errors were detected in the provided HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicit beyond the registrar information. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
