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

Zavod.hr is the official website of the Zavod za prostorno uređenje Međimurske županije, a government spatial planning institute serving the Međimurje County in Croatia. The organization focuses on spatial planning and economic zone development within the region, targeting local government entities, businesses, and citizens. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and incorporates SEO and accessibility plugins, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure is hosted by a Croatian provider with a domain registered since 2012, consistent with the organization's history. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit policies are lacking. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of a privacy policy and terms of service, though a cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its government function effectively, but could improve compliance and security transparency.

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

    • 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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      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 website represents a small government entity focused on spatial planning in the Croatian region of Međimurje. Its market position is that of a regional authority, providing essential planning services to local stakeholders. The business model is non-commercial, funded by government budgets. The site does not show commercial revenue streams or partnerships. The target audience includes local government officials, businesses interested in economic zones, and residents. The organization benefits from a consistent brand and clear service focus. There is no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies. The lack of privacy and security policies suggests room for maturity in governance and compliance. The use of common WordPress plugins indicates standard operational practices.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and is hosted on a reputable Croatian registrar and hosting provider, which supports a good baseline security posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and readiness communication. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism indicates some attention to privacy compliance, but the lack of a privacy policy is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues, including a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, leveraging jQuery and several plugins for SEO (Rank Math), accessibility (Pojo Accessibility), and mapping (DWD Map Extended). The site uses Google Fonts and CDN resources for performance optimization. The hosting provider is cyber_Folks d.o.o., a Croatian registrar and hosting company, which aligns with the domain registration data. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, likely due to the use of multiple plugins and external resources. The technical stack is standard for government websites, with opportunities to improve security headers and privacy compliance. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected.
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.
