The website turizam-vzz.hr serves as the official tourism portal for Varaždin County in Croatia, managed by the regional tourism board Turistička Zajednica Varaždinske Županije. It provides comprehensive information about local destinations, cultural heritage, accommodation options, events, and tourism offers, targeting tourists and visitors interested in exploring the region. The site is positioned as a regional governmental/non-profit entity focused on tourism promotion. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS using Bootstrap, jQuery, and other common web technologies. It features responsive design and moderate performance, with good SEO and basic accessibility features. The site employs HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating awareness of GDPR requirements, though it lacks a clearly published privacy policy and terms of service. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers and does not publish security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The domain registration data aligns well with the website's claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve its security posture and privacy compliance documentation.

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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Turistička Zajednica Varaždinske Županije operates as a regional tourism authority promoting Varaždin County. Its business model is non-profit/governmental, focusing on tourism information dissemination and cultural promotion. The website supports the local tourism ecosystem by providing destination details, event calendars, accommodation listings, and useful links. The organization maintains partnerships with national tourism bodies and regional initiatives. The target audience includes domestic and international tourists, cultural enthusiasts, and active holidaymakers. The site reflects a stable market position as an official regional tourism entity with consistent branding and trust signals such as official contact details and social media presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits transparency and preparedness. The Joomla CMS and associated plugins should be regularly updated to prevent vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were found in the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but could be significantly improved with better security controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, leveraging Owl Carousel and Font Awesome for UI components. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and optimization. No major technical debt is evident, but the absence of security headers and limited privacy documentation indicate areas for modernization. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but would 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.
