Risk levelHigh

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

The website stiintasiinginerie.ro represents the Cluj branch of AGIR's academic journal "ȘTIINȚĂ ȘI INGINERIE", focusing on science and engineering topics. It serves a niche academic audience including researchers, engineers, and students by publishing scientific articles and archiving past volumes. The domain has been active since 2013, supporting its credibility as a longstanding publication. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Customizr theme, with standard libraries like jQuery and FontAwesome. Hosting is provided by Globe Hosting, with DNS servers ns11 and ns12.globehosting.net. The site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Contact information is limited to a contact form without explicit emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced 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

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"

      • 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';…

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 journal operates in the education sector as a small-sized academic publication. Its business model revolves around disseminating scientific knowledge through periodic journal issues, targeting academics and professionals in science and engineering fields. The site maintains a consistent brand and content quality, with trust signals such as ISSN registration and editorial committees. There is no evidence of commercial advertising or monetization beyond publication services. The domain age and content consistency support a stable market position within its niche. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data.

Security posture

Security maturity is basic. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory, but lacks critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in case of security events. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit user behavior insights. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site is functional but should improve security controls and privacy transparency to reduce risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding verified contact emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Customizr theme, leveraging jQuery and FontAwesome libraries. Hosting is provided by Globe Hosting with standard DNS servers. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but the site uses semantic HTML and responsive design. No analytics or advertising scripts are present, indicating minimal tracking. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, representing technical debt and security risk. Overall, the infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
