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

winebg.info is a Bulgarian media website dedicated to wine culture, events, wineries, and wine tourism in Bulgaria. The site targets wine enthusiasts and consumers in Bulgaria, providing content such as event coverage, tasting notes, winery profiles, and cultural articles. The website uses WordPress CMS with a variety of plugins to enhance user experience, including age verification to restrict underage access to alcohol-related content. The site demonstrates moderate digital maturity with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the site appears legitimate and focused on its niche audience with room for security and compliance improvements.

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

8 findings 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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 occupies a niche media position focused on Bulgarian wine culture, serving a small but targeted audience. Its business model revolves around content provision, event promotion, and possibly affiliate or partner relationships with wineries such as vituswines.com. The site leverages partnerships and content diversity including quizzes and tourism guides to engage users. Growth potential lies in expanding partnerships and enhancing digital marketing. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a primarily content-driven approach rather than direct sales. The site maintains a consistent brand and content quality suitable for its audience.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes an age verification gate, which are positive security measures for alcohol-related content. Cookie consent banners indicate GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. The site should improve security practices by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and security researchers.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem including WooCommerce, MonsterInsights for analytics, and various UI enhancement plugins. The site uses Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling and icons. Performance is moderate with standard caching and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile menu support. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and lack of advanced security headers. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, which could be a point for further investigation.
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.
