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

9 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

      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

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

ZARA holds a strong market position as a key regional development agency in Croatia, serving government and non-profit sectors. Its competitive advantages include recognized ISO certifications, UN Global Compact membership, and a broad partnership ecosystem involving local and international projects. The agency's business model revolves around facilitating regional development through project support, consulting, and strategic planning, primarily funded by public and EU sources. The website content and linked domains reflect active engagement with government bodies, funding agencies, and community stakeholders. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and tenders, transparency in budget spending, and active communication channels. The agency leverages partnerships with multiple organizations to expand its impact and service offerings.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, aligning with GDPR requirements. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a minor gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which limits transparency in security management. The use of reputable third-party services like Brevo for marketing and WordPress plugins for accessibility and GDPR compliance suggests a baseline security culture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and contact information for incident reporting.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing clear contact channels and internal procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building, supported by jQuery and Font Awesome libraries. It integrates marketing automation via Brevo and employs accessibility tools and GDPR compliance plugins. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading and caching implied. The technical stack is well-maintained with no visible deprecated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and possibly optimize loading speed further. The infrastructure appears stable and suitable for the agency's informational and engagement needs.
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.
