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

TZ Stara Novalja is a local tourism organization dedicated to promoting the town of Stara Novalja on the island of Pag, Croatia. The website serves as a comprehensive portal offering event calendars, local attractions, outdoor activities, and useful information for tourists and property renters. It targets visitors interested in cultural events, outdoor sports, and local hospitality services. The organization appears well-established with a domain registered since 2001 and consistent WHOIS data. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, leveraging common web technologies such as jQuery and MediaElement.js. It integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking and implements cookie consent mechanisms. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, includes standard security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks a formal security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy notice present but limited GDPR-specific details. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, serving its purpose as a tourism information hub effectively. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security transparency, and accessibility could further enhance its posture and user trust.

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

10 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

      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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 website positions TZ Stara Novalja as a key local tourism promoter with a focus on cultural and outdoor events. Its business model revolves around information dissemination and community engagement rather than direct commercial transactions. The presence of partnerships with local and national tourism entities strengthens its market position. The content and event listings indicate active community involvement and a target audience of tourists and local visitors. The site supports local businesses indirectly by promoting events and accommodation options. Growth indicators include regular event updates and integration with social media channels.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and implements common security headers, which protect against common web attacks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. Cookie consent is implemented, but GDPR compliance could be improved with more detailed policies and user rights information. The site would benefit from formalizing its security governance and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and user data rights.
  4. Improve website accessibility features to meet recognized standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on a mature CMS platform (WordPress) with a popular commercial theme (Avada). The technology stack includes jQuery and MediaElement.js for UI and media handling. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking. The site is hosted under Croatian registrar CARNET with DNS managed by tjstudio.info. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and the need for ongoing maintenance to keep the stack updated and secure.
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.
