Risk levelHigh

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

ARTOS, a.s. is a Slovakian telecommunications company that unites regional telecom operators to collaborate on joint projects and develop better products for customers. Established in 2006, the company offers services including internet, IP transport, television, telephony, camera systems, and shared software solutions. The website reflects a small-sized business with a focus on regional collaboration and a platform for cooperation with larger operators. Technically, the website uses older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.9.0 and Modernizr 2.6.2, hosted on a provider associated with the registrar GAYA, with DNSSEC enabled indicating some security awareness. However, the site lacks modern security headers, visible HTTPS enforcement, and updated libraries, which poses security risks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating low privacy compliance. Contact information is limited to an email and physical address, with no phone numbers or social media presence. Overall, the website is functional but basic, with moderate trustworthiness and room for improvement in security and privacy compliance.

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

12 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. 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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 · 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

ARTOS operates in the telecommunications sector, focusing on integrating regional operators into a larger cooperative entity. Their business model centers on joint projects and shared platforms to enhance service offerings. The company has maintained a consistent market presence since 2006, indicating stability. Their key services cover a broad range of telecom-related solutions, targeting regional operators and their customers. The partnership ecosystem includes web design services from ipartner.sk, but no other partners or subsidiaries are identified. The lack of extensive digital marketing or analytics tools suggests a conservative digital strategy. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the long domain age and stated experience imply steady operations.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate but with notable weaknesses. DNSSEC is enabled, which is a positive indicator for domain security. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.9.0 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No HTTPS enforcement is visible in the HTML content, which is a critical security gap. There is no evidence of incident response contacts or security policies on the site. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site requires security modernization and policy transparency to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTPS with strict transport security (HSTS) and ensure all site resources load securely.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Establish and display incident response contact information to enhance security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using legacy JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.9.0 and Modernizr 2.6.2, with FlexSlider for UI elements. The hosting appears to be managed by GAYA, as indicated by the nameservers. The site uses basic CSS and minimal SEO metadata, lacking Open Graph or structured data. Performance is moderate with some image preloading scripts. Mobile optimization is basic, with no advanced responsive design detected. Accessibility features are minimal. No CMS or modern frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom or static site. The lack of analytics or tracking scripts indicates minimal data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but outdated and could benefit from modernization and improved SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
