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

The website spc.rs serves as the official online presence of the Serbian Orthodox Church, a large non-profit religious institution based in Serbia. It provides authoritative information and resources related to the church's activities, religious events, and community engagement. The site targets followers of the Serbian Orthodox faith and the general public interested in religious content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and employs common web technologies such as jQuery and BootstrapDialog. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with structured data implemented for better search engine understanding. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended to enhance domain and site security. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and legitimate, with a domain age consistent with an established institution, but it would benefit from improved security and privacy 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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 Serbian Orthodox Church holds a significant position as a religious and cultural institution in Serbia and the surrounding region. The website acts as a central hub for disseminating official church information, news, and events, supporting community cohesion and religious education. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on service and information provision rather than revenue generation. The site does not display advertising or affiliate marketing, reflecting its non-profit nature. The lack of visible contact information and privacy policies suggests a potential area for improvement in user engagement and regulatory compliance. The church's partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website, and no related or subsidiary domains were identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. The site does not appear to use tracking or analytics services that might introduce privacy risks. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the security posture could be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS-based attacks.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  4. Add visible and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and incident reporting.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to improve security transparency and responsiveness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with the Avada theme providing a modern and responsive design. The use of jQuery and BootstrapDialog indicates reliance on established JavaScript libraries for UI components. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement, which is well implemented. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques detected. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring accessibility across devices. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement to meet higher standards. The hosting and registrar are reputable, with Telekom Srbija A.D. as the registrar, indicating stable infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
