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

Županijska uprava za ceste Međimurske županije is a Croatian government agency responsible for managing county and local roads within Međimurje County. The website serves as an informational portal providing details on road maintenance, construction projects, legal frameworks, public procurement, and access to official information. The target audience includes local residents, government officials, contractors, and other stakeholders interested in regional road infrastructure. The agency operates under the Croatian national registrar CARNET, with a domain established in 2005, reflecting a mature and stable online presence. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix Ultimate framework and SP Page Builder, incorporating modern web technologies such as Bootstrap 5 and jQuery. Hosting is provided by Totohost, a Croatian hosting provider. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic but functional, and the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Security practices include CSRF token implementation and HTTPS enforcement, though explicit security headers are not clearly present. From a security perspective, the site shows a solid posture for a government informational portal, with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. There is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of tracking or advertising technologies indicates a privacy-conscious approach, though formal policies are missing. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its governmental function well. Strategic improvements include adding comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, and publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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 agency holds a strong market position as the official regional authority for road management in Međimurje County, Croatia. Its business model is public service-oriented, focusing on infrastructure management and information dissemination. Revenue streams are government-funded, with no commercial activities evident. The target customer segments are local citizens, contractors, and government bodies. The website supports transparency through public procurement and access to information sections. Partnerships include Croatian national road authorities and traffic organizations, as indicated by linked domains. Growth indicators are stable, consistent with government operations. The agency's operations emphasize regulatory compliance and public accountability.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate, suitable for a government informational website. Key strengths include HTTPS enforcement, CSRF protection in AJAX calls, and absence of exposed sensitive data. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies, lack of explicit security headers, and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Data protection practices are implied but not formally documented on the site. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the content. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to enhance security maturity and compliance with GDPR and NIS2 directives.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file and a dedicated page for vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all extensions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization for broader reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on Joomla CMS with Helix Ultimate framework and SP Page Builder, leveraging Bootstrap 5 and jQuery libraries. Hosting is managed by Totohost, a Croatian hosting provider, ensuring local presence and compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading speed and SEO. Technical debt appears low, but modernization opportunities include updating to the latest Joomla versions and optimizing scripts and stylesheets. Technical risks are minimal but include the absence of some security headers and formal privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
