APUMS is a Slovak non-profit association representing local government office leaders, focusing on education, networking, and professional development. The website provides event information, member resources, and partner links, targeting local government officials primarily in Slovakia. The technical infrastructure uses common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Swiper.js, with a custom CMS platform. The site is mobile-optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting basic GDPR compliance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its niche audience effectively.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  4. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

APUMS holds a stable position as a local government association in Slovakia, offering educational seminars, conferences, and managerial training. Its partnerships with reputable organizations and consistent event updates indicate active engagement in its sector. The business model is non-profit and membership-driven, focusing on knowledge sharing and professional support. The website's content and structure support this model, though there is room for enhanced transparency in security and privacy policies. The association's digital presence is functional and aligned with its organizational goals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner, demonstrating awareness of basic security and privacy requirements. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which may limit transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security posture is moderate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy policy details to cover all GDPR requirements comprehensively.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap 4.4.1, Swiper.js, and jQuery Mmenu for UI and interactivity, indicating a moderately modern tech stack. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no popular CMS detected. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile-optimized. SEO is basic with meta tags present but could be improved with structured data and Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but has room for modernization and optimization.
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.
