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

The website tz-novalja.hr represents the official Tourist Board of the town of Novalja, Croatia, focusing on promoting local tourism, accommodation, and travel information. It serves as a regional informational portal targeting tourists and visitors interested in Novalja and the island of Pag. The business operates as a local government entity with a small organizational size and a long-established presence since 2003. The site content is primarily in Croatian with some English references, providing basic tourism-related information and contact details. From a technical perspective, the website uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without modern CMS or frameworks. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, and performance is moderate. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking technologies, which limits data-driven insights but also reduces privacy concerns. The site redirects visitors to a related tourism site after a short delay. Security posture is weak, with no visible HTTPS enforcement, security headers, or privacy and cookie policies. No forms or user data collection mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The WHOIS data is consistent and trustworthy, indicating a legitimate domain with a long history aligned with the business purpose. Overall, the website is functional for basic tourism information but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to enhance trust, user experience, and regulatory adherence.

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Novalja Tourist Board operates in the hospitality and government sectors, focusing on tourism promotion for the Novalja region. Its market position is that of a local government entity providing essential tourism information and services. The business model centers on information dissemination rather than direct commercial transactions. Key services include accommodation listings, event calendars, and travel logistics support. The organization leverages partnerships with local accommodation providers, transport services, and ferry operators to enhance visitor experience. Growth indicators are limited by the basic digital presence, suggesting opportunities for expansion through digital marketing and improved online services. The partnership ecosystem includes regional tourism sites and local service providers, reflecting a collaborative approach to regional tourism development.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low. The absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers exposes the site to potential interception and clickjacking risks. Lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness. The site does not collect user data via forms, reducing exposure but also limiting engagement. Overall, the security posture is minimal and requires urgent improvements to protect user data, ensure compliance, and build trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforce HTTPS redirects site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without use of modern CMS or frameworks. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, which limits usability on diverse devices. Performance is moderate but could be improved with modern web standards and optimization techniques. The absence of analytics and tracking tools limits insights into user behavior but also reduces privacy risks. The hosting appears to be managed via local Croatian infrastructure with DNS hosted by posluh.hr. The site uses a simple redirect script to forward users to a related tourism site, indicating a possible transition or consolidation of web presence. Overall, the technical infrastructure is outdated and would benefit from modernization to improve performance, security, and user engagement.
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.
