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.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

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

VRNHN operates as an essential government entity in the public safety sector, providing critical emergency and crisis management services. Its market position is that of an official regional authority with a medium organizational size. The business model is public service funded by government budgets, targeting local residents and municipalities. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content covering various safety topics, incident updates, and organizational transparency. Partnerships are implied through links to social media and archival services but no explicit commercial partnerships are listed. The organization demonstrates a commitment to transparency and public engagement through detailed policies and contact information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS usage (implied by canonical URLs), cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, nor is there a published security policy or incident response contact. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a government informational site but with room for improvement in formal security communications and header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and security certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging Matomo for analytics, and uses modern web technologies including deferred and asynchronous JavaScript loading for performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. No hosting provider details are explicitly found, but the site appears stable and professionally maintained. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and explicit hosting details could be improved to reduce risk.
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.
