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

The website www.zelina.hr/portal serves as the official municipal portal for the city of Sveti Ivan Zelina in Croatia. It provides a broad range of public information including local government structure, public tenders, news, events, and citizen services. The site targets residents and stakeholders of the municipality, offering them access to official announcements and resources. The business model is that of a government public service platform, with a focus on transparency and community engagement. The domain is well-established since 2001, reinforcing its credibility as an official source. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with several common web technologies such as jQuery, MooTools, Bootstrap, and UIkit frameworks. It uses K2 for content management and RokSprocket for interactive features like slideshows. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and includes accessibility features such as dyslexia-friendly fonts and contrast controls. SEO and metadata are properly implemented, including Open Graph and Twitter cards. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism with opt-in functionality. CSRF tokens are present, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, security headers like CSP and HSTS are not detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, with moderate user tracking levels and good privacy compliance. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid security posture and good privacy compliance for a government portal. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the website content and geographic location, indicating high legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were found. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing incident response contacts to enhance trust and security maturity.

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

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

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 municipal website positions itself as the authoritative source for local government information in Sveti Ivan Zelina. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive public service content, transparency, and community engagement tools such as event calendars and procurement notices. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and citizen services. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government entity. The target customer segments are local residents, businesses, and visitors seeking official information. Growth indicators include regular content updates and integration with partner sites like waste management and open city initiatives. The partnership ecosystem is local and government-focused, with no commercial affiliations. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining up-to-date security and privacy compliance to sustain public trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture for a municipal portal. HTTPS is enforced, and GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent and privacy policy presence. The use of CSRF tokens indicates attention to secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts is a compliance gap that could affect incident handling and transparency. Google Analytics usage introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance appears adequate. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by adding a terms of service page and detailed data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with K2 content management and uses multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery, MooTools, and UIkit for UI components. Bootstrap is also used for responsive design. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from both local and CDN sources, including cdnjs.cloudflare.com for icon fonts. The presence of CSRF tokens and GDPR cookie consent scripts indicates modern web practices. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. Accessibility is supported through custom fonts for dyslexia and contrast controls. SEO is supported by canonical links, Open Graph, and Twitter meta tags. Hosting appears to be local Croatian infrastructure via CARNET registrar. Overall, the technical stack is stable but could be modernized with newer frameworks and improved security headers.
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.
