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

5 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 organization operates as a non-profit government association, coordinating regional development and supporting local municipalities. Its market position is authoritative within Lääne-Viru County, with key services including development strategies, funding programs, public health and safety initiatives, and event organization. The website content and linked partner domains indicate a collaborative ecosystem with regional government and service providers. The business model is focused on public service rather than commercial revenue, targeting government stakeholders and local communities. Growth indicators include active program funding and event management. The partnership ecosystem includes regional government sites and service platforms, enhancing its operational reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of security-focused plugins like Complianz for GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, representing a compliance gap. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, supporting user privacy. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and DPO contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1 and Font Awesome 6.7.2 for UI elements. It uses Google Analytics via gtag.js for traffic analysis and the Complianz plugin for GDPR cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the domain is registered with an Estonian registrar consistent with the site's regional focus. Technical risks are low, but the absence of some security headers and incident response documentation suggests room for improvement in security governance.
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.
