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

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

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

RMK operates as an essential government entity in the forestry sector, managing state forests and related services. Its business model revolves around sustainable forest management, conservation, and public engagement through education and recreational services. The organization leverages certifications such as PEFC, FSC, and ISO to reinforce trust and compliance. Revenue streams likely include wood sales and government funding. The website targets both general users and specialists, offering segmented content and services. RMK's partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and app stores for mobile applications. The site’s content and structure support growth and public outreach, reflecting a well-established market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, secure session cookies, and a robust cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be improved to strengthen security culture and readiness. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR requirements and best practices but should consider publishing a security.txt file and enhancing header policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and WordPress plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of security and incident response contact channels on the website.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and compliance checks to uphold GDPR and security standards.

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.
