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

    • 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

  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 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';…

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 website operates as a specialized vertical under the Večernji list media group, leveraging the parent company's market position as a leading Croatian news portal. Its business model centers on content publishing with monetization through advertising and subscriptions (via Piano paywall). The target audience includes history enthusiasts and the general public interested in military topics. The site is integrated with multiple related portals and services within the Večernji ecosystem, enhancing cross-promotion and audience reach. The presence of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. No direct contact information is provided on the site, suggesting centralized user support through the parent brand. The site maintains consistent branding and content quality aligned with Večernji list standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy directives. The use of a consent management platform ensures compliance with GDPR cookie consent requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not provided, which could hinder timely reporting of security issues. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and ad networks, which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and ad networks to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Video.js for video content, and the Didomi consent management platform for GDPR compliance. Advertising is managed via Google AdSense and Ezoic, with additional analytics from DotMetrics and Piano (Tinypass) for subscription management. The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS, as no common CMS signatures were detected. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO is well handled with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media publishing operation with room for modernization in accessibility and security transparency.
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.
