Risk levelHigh

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

Smart kolektiv is a well-established non-profit organization based in Serbia, focused on promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR), social innovation, and supporting civil society organizations and social entrepreneurs. Founded in 2003, it has built a strong market position as a pioneer in CSR development in Serbia, offering educational programs, consultancy, and networking services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, with clear navigation and multilingual support. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using modern plugins and frameworks, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain protections, though improvements can be made by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Privacy compliance is adequate with a clear privacy policy, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism and vulnerability disclosure. Overall, the website is trustworthy and serves its target audience 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.

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

  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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 organization operates in the non-profit sector, targeting companies, NGOs, and social entrepreneurs interested in CSR and social innovation. It leverages strategic partnerships with international donors and corporations such as USAID, GIZ, Erste Bank, and Coca-Cola HBC. Its business model revolves around providing education, support, and networking to foster sustainable business practices and social entrepreneurship. The website content and partner ecosystem indicate a mature and credible operation with a medium-sized organizational footprint. Growth indicators include active program offerings and a broad network of partners and beneficiaries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized transfers or updates. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity for enhanced DNS security. No explicit Content Security Policy or other advanced security headers were detected, which could mitigate risks like cross-site scripting. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency in incident response. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement Content Security Policy and other recommended security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options).
  3. Publish a security policy or vulnerability disclosure page to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

It employs jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks for UI components. Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used for tracking, with opt-out mechanisms present. The site is multilingual (Serbian and English) and optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, suitable for the organization's needs.
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.
