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

Veganopolis is a Croatian non-profit online platform operated by the association Prijatelji životinja, dedicated to promoting veganism and plant-based lifestyles. The website offers a variety of community and educational services including a vegan product guide, a 30-day vegan challenge, vegan buddy support, nutritionist advice, cooking workshops, and vegan restaurant listings. The target audience is primarily Croatian-speaking individuals interested in veganism and animal rights. The platform positions itself as a niche non-profit resource with a focus on community engagement and education. Technically, the website uses a traditional tech stack including jQuery 1.10.2, Bootstrap, and Google Fonts. It is mobile optimized with good navigation and content quality, though some technologies are outdated. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident. The site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service pages, though it includes a cookie consent banner. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed), employs POST methods for forms, and does not expose sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers and use of an outdated jQuery version present moderate risks. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered, which is inconsistent with the active website and raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better policies and technical controls. The overall risk is moderate with recommendations to verify domain registration status, implement security headers, update libraries, and publish privacy and security policies. The site is safe for general audiences and serves a clear non-profit mission with good business credibility.

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. 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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
      • 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

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

Veganopolis operates as a small non-profit project under Prijatelji životinja, focusing on veganism promotion in Croatia. Its competitive advantage lies in community engagement and comprehensive vegan lifestyle resources. The business model is educational and community-driven without commercial advertising or affiliate marketing. Revenue streams likely include donations, memberships, and volunteer support. The target customers are vegan and plant-based lifestyle adopters, nutrition enthusiasts, and animal rights supporters. Growth indicators include active blog updates and social media presence. The partnership with Prijatelji životinja strengthens credibility and resource sharing. Strategic observations suggest focusing on domain legitimacy and enhancing digital security to maintain trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and secure form methods. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is published, indicating limited formal security governance. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent but lacks a privacy policy. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. Overall, the security culture appears informal and could benefit from structured policies and technical improvements to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and renew domain registration to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and ensure domain legitimacy.
  2. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and security policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Establish an incident response plan and consider adding a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web stack with Bootstrap and jQuery 1.10.2, which is outdated and may pose security risks. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Accessibility is basic with some support for older IE versions. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts suggests a privacy-focused approach but limits marketing insights. Technical debt is present due to legacy libraries and missing security headers. Modernization opportunities include upgrading libraries, adding security headers, and improving accessibility 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.
