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

Vodovod Povljana d.o.o. is a small Croatian utility company specializing in public water supply, sewage management, and water infrastructure operations primarily serving the Povljana region. The company operates under the parent entity VODOVOD HRVATSKO PRIMORJE d.o.o. and maintains a local market presence with key partnerships including local government and national water authorities. The website reflects a focused business model targeting local residents and businesses requiring essential water services. Technically, the website is built on an older WordPress platform (version 3.5.2) with legacy jQuery libraries, hosted by InMotion Hosting. While the site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure, it lacks modern security headers and uses outdated software components, which may expose it to vulnerabilities. The site uses HTTPS but does not implement advanced security or privacy compliance features such as cookie consent or privacy policies. From a security perspective, the site shows basic HTTPS usage but lacks critical security headers and uses outdated software versions, increasing risk exposure. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Contact information is available but limited to phone and physical address, with no email or social media presence detected. Overall, the website is functional and professionally presented but requires urgent updates to its CMS and security posture to mitigate risks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Strategic improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization are recommended to enhance trust and operational resilience.

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

11 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

  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.

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 company operates as a regional utility provider in the energy sector, specifically water supply and sewage management. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on public infrastructure management. The company benefits from partnerships with local government and national water authorities, which strengthens its market position. Revenue streams likely derive from municipal contracts and consumer water service fees. The website content and linked documents suggest transparency in pricing and service offerings. Growth indicators are limited due to the recent domain registration and small company size. The partnership ecosystem includes local government (povljana.hr) and Hrvatske vode (voda.hr), indicating integration with public sector entities. Strategic observations highlight the need for digital modernization and enhanced compliance to support sustainable growth.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory, but lacks essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection. The use of outdated WordPress (3.5.2) and jQuery (1.8.3) versions presents significant vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No evidence of incident response readiness or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms is found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. Data protection practices appear minimal, with no visible data collection forms or tracking scripts. The security culture seems limited, likely due to the small size and local focus of the business. Immediate remediation is needed to update software, implement security headers, and establish privacy compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress and all associated plugins and libraries to the latest supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  3. Develop and publish privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling practices.
  4. Establish an incident response plan and provide clear contact channels for security incidents or abuse reports.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 3.5.2, which is significantly outdated and unsupported, posing security and compatibility risks. The tech stack includes jQuery 1.8.3 and LayerSlider for UI elements. Hosting is provided by InMotion Hosting, a reputable provider. The site uses Google Fonts for typography and the Avia Framework for theme management. Performance is moderate with mobile responsiveness implemented. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is minimal. The site lacks modern technical implementations such as structured data (JSON-LD), Open Graph metadata, and security headers. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking tools, which limits marketing insights but enhances privacy. Technical debt is evident and modernization is recommended to reduce operational risks.
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.
