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

4 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: agel-sk.mail.protection.outlook.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory
    • High

      No Name Servers Found

      Unable to find name servers for domain

      What to do: Configure proper name servers for the domain

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

AGEL holds a strong market position as the most successful healthcare provider in Central Europe, with a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries and services. Their competitive advantage lies in comprehensive healthcare offerings, research and innovation platforms, and a strong brand presence across Slovakia and neighboring countries. The company targets a wide audience including patients, healthcare professionals, and students. The website supports growth through career opportunities and educational programs. Partnerships with related domains and foundations enhance their ecosystem. The business model is service-oriented with revenue streams from healthcare delivery, diagnostics, and education. Strategic observations include the need for enhanced security policies and incident response transparency to further strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance. The use of reCAPTCHA is present but disabled by default, which could be enabled to reduce spam risks. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly observed and should be implemented to mitigate common web threats. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enable reCAPTCHA by default on all forms to mitigate spam and abuse.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Bootstrap 5.3.3, jQuery, and various plugins for sliders, video modals, and cookie consent management. Hosting appears to be managed internally or via regional providers, ensuring localized performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading external scripts and images. The use of analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by updating security headers and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
