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

DARS d.d. is the Slovenian national motorway operator responsible for toll collection, motorway maintenance, traffic management, and infrastructure investments. The company operates a vinjetni toll system and an electronic toll system (DarsGo) for heavy vehicles. The website reflects a well-established, state-owned enterprise with a clear focus on transportation infrastructure and public service. The site targets Slovenian motorway users, transport companies, and the general public, providing comprehensive information about services, projects, and traffic updates. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. The site is mobile-optimized with a professional design and clear navigation. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating good privacy compliance. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, secure forms, and no exposed sensitive data. The use of reCAPTCHA and cookie consent aligns with GDPR requirements. The domain is long-established (since 1996) and registered with a Slovenian registrar consistent with the business location, supporting legitimacy. No suspicious or malicious indicators were found. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, though it could enhance transparency by publishing security policies and incident response contacts. The site effectively supports the company’s role as a key national transportation infrastructure operator.

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

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

    • 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

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

DARS d.d. holds a dominant position as Slovenia's national motorway operator, managing toll systems and motorway infrastructure. Its business model is that of a state-owned enterprise funded through toll revenues and government support. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its exclusive control over motorway tolling and maintenance in Slovenia. Revenue streams primarily come from toll collection via vinjetni and electronic systems. The target customers include private motorists, commercial transporters, and public authorities. Growth indicators include ongoing infrastructure investments and digitalization of toll systems. The partnership ecosystem includes related traffic information services and digital platforms for toll management. Strategic observations highlight a focus on modernization, safety, and customer service through digital channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA on contact forms to mitigate spam, and a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. No security headers were detected in the HTML source, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the site is secure for public use but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and headers to strengthen defense-in-depth and compliance visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA, indicating a focus on analytics and security. The HTML structure is valid with responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. SEO is basic with meta viewport and title tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by adding 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.
