Večernji list Ads Showcase is a digital advertising platform associated with the Večernji list media outlet, offering a variety of advertising formats including content marketing, social media posts, desktop and mobile display ads, and special formats. The platform targets advertisers and marketing professionals seeking to leverage Večernji list's digital presence for promotional purposes. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and good mobile optimization, utilizing technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. However, the technical infrastructure lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and user privacy. The WHOIS data for the domain is not publicly available, indicating privacy protection, which slightly reduces transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a moderate security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 platform operates within the media sector, focusing on digital advertising sales. Its business model revolves around providing advertisers with detailed pricing and format options for digital ad placements on Večernji list's channels. The target customer segment includes advertisers and marketing agencies. The website content and structure suggest a medium-sized operation with a consistent brand presence. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy transparency may impact customer trust. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its association with a well-known media brand in Croatia, offering diverse advertising formats.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed from the data. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, and no security or privacy policies beyond a basic PDF document. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms indicates non-compliance with GDPR cookie requirements. No analytics or tracking scripts beyond jQuery and Google Fonts were found, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to enhance headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Review and enhance SSL/TLS configuration to ensure strong encryption and HTTPS enforcement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack primarily based on jQuery and Google Fonts, indicating a lightweight front-end. No CMS or backend technologies were detected from the HTML content. The site is optimized for both desktop and mobile platforms with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading or technical debt. SEO optimization is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
