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

SIGIC - Slovenski glasbenoinformacijski center is a Slovenian non-profit cultural organization dedicated to providing comprehensive information about Slovenian music, including news, events, projects, and publications. The website serves as a central hub for music professionals, enthusiasts, and cultural institutions in Slovenia, offering a variety of resources and digitalization initiatives to promote Slovenian musical heritage. The organization is supported by governmental and cultural partners, enhancing its credibility and market position within the Slovenian cultural sector. Technically, the website employs a traditional web stack with Bootstrap and jQuery, integrating social media SDKs and newsletter subscription tools. The site is mobile responsive and moderately performant, hosted under the Slovenian academic network provider Arnes. While the site is well-structured and content-rich, it lacks some modern security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which could pose security risks. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but lacks explicit security headers and documented incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or WAF blocks were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's Slovenian cultural focus, showing a long-established domain registered with a reputable registrar. Overall, the site is trustworthy but could improve its security posture and privacy compliance. Strategically, SIGIC should prioritize publishing a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, upgrade its JavaScript libraries, and implement security headers to enhance protection. These steps will improve user trust, regulatory compliance, and reduce potential security risks.

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

  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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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

SIGIC operates as a specialized cultural information center focusing on Slovenian music. Its market positioning is strong within the national cultural ecosystem, leveraging partnerships with governmental bodies and international music information networks. The business model is non-profit, relying on public funding and cultural grants. Key services include news dissemination, event promotion, digitalization of music archives, and publication of market profiles. The target audience includes musicians, cultural organizations, and the general public interested in Slovenian music. Growth indicators include ongoing digital projects and active event participation. The partnership ecosystem includes IAMIC, Ministry of Culture, and local government entities, which supports its operational stability and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy and security standards. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (2.1.4) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is published, which limits readiness for handling security incidents. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Add clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates social media SDKs (Facebook, Twitter) and Google platform scripts for enhanced functionality. The newsletter subscription is managed via Mailchimp, including anti-bot hidden fields. Hosting is provided by Arnes, a reputable Slovenian academic network provider, which suggests stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. However, the use of older jQuery versions and lack of modern security headers indicate technical debt and potential security risks. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and enhanced keyboard navigation.
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.
