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. 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

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

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 institution operates as a governmental non-profit entity focused on environmental protection within a specific Croatian region. Its business model revolves around public service and regulatory functions, including managing protected areas and issuing permits. The website reflects a stable market position as a regional authority with a history dating back to 2010. The presence of multiple ongoing and completed projects indicates active engagement in environmental initiatives. Social media integration and structured data enhance its digital presence. The lack of commercial activities or revenue streams aligns with its governmental nature. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could be improved to mitigate risks such as clickjacking or content injection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The use of standard WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to prevent common CMS vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a governmental informational site but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with the Enfold theme and several plugins that provide SEO, event management, and mapping functionalities. The use of Google Fonts and Google Analytics indicates standard web practices. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and responsive design supporting mobile users. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration, improving search visibility. Hosting appears to be regional, consistent with the registrar CARNET. Technical debt is low, but some security headers and accessibility improvements could be made. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
