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

7 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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"

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 agency holds a strong market position as the national authority on water management in Croatia, supported by EU-funded projects and partnerships with governmental and environmental organizations. Its business model is public service-oriented, focusing on regulatory compliance, infrastructure management, and public communication. The website reflects a mature digital presence with good content quality and user experience, supporting transparency and stakeholder engagement. The absence of commercial advertising and the presence of official external links reinforce its government entity status. Growth indicators include active project updates and public tenders, indicating ongoing operational activity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and anonymized IP tracking in analytics. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly set in the HTML and should be verified server-side. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could benefit from formalized security documentation and header enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Ensure all forms have robust CSRF protection and input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Maintain up-to-date CMS and modules to reduce technical debt and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses popular JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for sliders, AOS for animations, and Select2 for enhanced form controls. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated with IP anonymization and consent management, reflecting privacy-aware analytics usage. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and rich content. There is an opportunity to optimize loading times and enhance security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional government portal.
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.
