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

Digitálne mesto is a Slovak online portal providing electronic services primarily for municipalities and citizens. Operated by DATALAN, a.s., the platform offers a range of e-services and information relevant to local governments and residents. The website is professionally designed, targeting Slovak municipalities with a clear focus on government digital transformation. The company holds recognized ITAPA awards, indicating a reputable market position in the regional government technology sector. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts, with a custom CMS or platform. While the site is functional and moderately optimized for mobile, there is room for improvement in accessibility and performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS assumed, but lacks explicit security headers and policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy policy visible. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy 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

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. 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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

The business operates in the government and technology sectors, providing digital services to municipalities across Slovakia. Its business model is service-oriented, offering SaaS-like electronic services and information portals. The company leverages its reputation through awards and a consistent brand presence. Target customers include local governments, citizens, and entrepreneurs. The platform supports a broad range of Slovak municipalities, indicating a wide market reach. The parent company, DATALAN, a.s., is well-established and acts as the content author and technical operator. The absence of direct contact details on the main site suggests a centralized support model possibly handled via the parent company. The company’s strategic positioning as a trusted government technology provider is reinforced by its awards and long-term operation since at least 2014.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible incident response or security policy published, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found, indicating good basic hygiene. The lack of cookie consent and privacy transparency represents a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by adopting modern security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing privacy compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  4. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard technology stack with jQuery 2.1.3, Font Awesome 4.3.0, and Google Fonts, indicating a somewhat dated but stable front-end environment. The absence of modern JavaScript frameworks suggests a custom or legacy CMS platform. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or CDN usage. The site is responsive at a basic level but could benefit from enhanced mobile and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The hosting provider and infrastructure details are not disclosed, limiting deeper technical assessment. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be modernized to improve performance, security, and user experience.
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.
