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

The website ds-rs.si is the official online presence of the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia, a governmental institution responsible for legislative consultation and representation of various social interests. The site provides comprehensive information about the council's members, activities, news, events, and contact details, targeting Slovenian citizens and government stakeholders. It maintains a consistent and professional brand image aligned with its official status. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 9 CMS, leveraging modern frontend libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. The infrastructure reflects a mature digital presence suitable for a government entity. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide visible incident response or security policy information. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. The domain registration is consistent with a Slovenian government ministry, reinforcing legitimacy and trust. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and authoritative source of governmental information with room for improvement in security best practices and privacy compliance to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

    • 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

  2. 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
  • 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 National Council of the Republic of Slovenia holds a key position in the Slovenian government ecosystem, serving as a consultative legislative body. Its business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and governance. The website supports transparency and civic engagement by providing access to legislative documents, news, and event calendars. The institution benefits from strong partnerships with other government bodies and judiciary institutions, as evidenced by linked domains. Growth indicators include active news updates and event management. The council's strategic advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive digital communication channels, including social media. The website's content and structure reflect a clear focus on serving citizens and government officials, with no commercial distractions. This positions the council as a reliable and authoritative source within the government sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing a security policy, establishing incident response contacts, and enhancing privacy compliance with explicit cookie consent. These steps will strengthen the site's defense against common web threats and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration and perform regular security assessments.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 9 CMS, utilizing a range of frontend technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap 3.3.5, Font Awesome, Magnific Popup, and bxSlider for interactive elements. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features, contributing to a good user experience. Performance is moderate, likely due to the extensive use of CSS and JS libraries. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further and modernize frontend frameworks for improved speed and maintainability.
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.
