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

Srednja.hr is a Croatian news portal primarily targeting students and high schoolers, providing educational news, articles, and community features. The website holds a strong position in the Croatian education media sector, offering key services such as news updates, educational content, quizzes, and subscription options. The business model revolves around content delivery and advertising revenue, supported by a medium-sized operation founded in 2016. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Stripe for payments, and multiple analytics and advertising integrations. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices but could improve accessibility features. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and employs standard security headers, with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information, indicates gaps in privacy compliance and user transparency. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and user contact options.

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

9 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

    • 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

  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"

    • 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

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 portal serves a niche market of Croatian students and educators, leveraging content and community engagement to maintain relevance. Its competitive advantage lies in localized, education-focused news and tools like calculators and quizzes. Revenue streams likely include advertising (Google Adsense, DoubleClick) and subscriptions. The presence of multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests a data-driven approach to audience engagement. Partnerships with major platforms like Stripe and Facebook enhance payment and marketing capabilities. Growth indicators include regular content updates and active social media channels. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved privacy compliance to align with GDPR and build user trust.

Security posture

Srednja.hr exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, and secure payment integration via Stripe. The use of multiple third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces potential risk vectors, but no immediate vulnerabilities are detected in the provided content. The lack of explicit security policies or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in organizational security readiness. Compliance gaps exist regarding privacy and cookie policies, which are critical under GDPR. The site should consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt to enhance transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add visible contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to foster responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern and diverse technology stack including jQuery, Stripe for payments, and multiple analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Gemius, and DotMetrics. SEO is enhanced by the Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) is properly implemented for rich search results. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially considering the number of external scripts loaded. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. The site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and security headers, indicating a solid technical foundation. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and reduce third-party script load to enhance performance and security.
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.
