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"

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

Story.hr operates within the Croatian media sector, focusing on lifestyle and celebrity news with a diversified content portfolio including parenting and health. Its business model relies on advertising revenue, subscription services, and event promotions such as the Festival vjenčanja. The company benefits from a strong brand and social media presence, enhancing audience engagement and market reach. The presence of subsidiaries and partner sites indicates a strategic ecosystem to capture various audience segments. The site’s content quality and professional presentation support its competitive advantage in the Croatian digital media landscape.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, appropriate security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of modern libraries and asynchronous script loading reduces attack surface. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The extensive use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential risks. GDPR compliance is evident, but further enhancements in security documentation and vulnerability disclosure practices are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider providing direct company contact information to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack (Nuxt.js and Vue.js), ensuring responsive and dynamic user experiences. It integrates multiple analytics and advertising technologies, including Google Tag Manager, Gemius, and Defractal, supporting monetization and audience insights. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of key assets. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses CDN services and secure HTTPS connections. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and reduce technical debt by streamlining third-party dependencies.
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.
