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

Visit Zagreb County is the official tourism board for Zagreb County, Croatia, promoting the region's cultural, natural, and gastronomic attractions. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for tourists, offering information on events, active holidays, health tourism, and sustainable tourism initiatives. The organization positions itself as a regional authority with a focus on enhancing visitor experience and promoting local heritage. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, with multilingual support via TranslatePress. It employs modern web technologies and includes spam protection mechanisms. The site is hosted by Plus Hosting Grupa d.o.o., a Croatian hosting provider, and uses HTTPS to secure communications. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses spam protection but lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's Croatian origin and business purpose, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned to serve its audience. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security hardening would 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 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

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 represents a small-sized governmental tourism entity focused on promoting Zagreb County as a travel destination. Its business model revolves around regional tourism marketing, event promotion, and cultural heritage preservation. The site targets tourists interested in active holidays, gastronomy, culture, and sustainable tourism. Partnerships with national and regional organizations, as well as EU projects, strengthen its market position. The content quality and branding are consistent, supporting a credible and authoritative presence in the hospitality and government sectors.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and spam protection is implemented via the Altcha plugin. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security policy information is published. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements in headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor as the page builder, supported by jQuery and TranslatePress for multilingual capabilities. Hosting is provided by a Croatian hosting company, ensuring regional consistency. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic but present. The site uses custom analytics via an independent analytics plugin, avoiding major third-party trackers. There is some technical debt in missing security headers and lack of cookie consent. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a regional tourism site but can be improved with security and privacy enhancements.
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.
