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

10 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

      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

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 Environmentálny Fond holds a strong market position as a government entity responsible for environmental funding in Slovakia. Its competitive advantage lies in its official backing and legal foundation, enabling it to manage significant public funds for environmental projects. The business model is primarily government-funded grants and loans, targeting public and private entities involved in environmental protection. The website indicates active engagement with stakeholders through detailed calls for proposals and updates. The partnership ecosystem includes the Ministry of Environment and possibly other governmental bodies. Growth indicators include ongoing calls for funding and modernization initiatives. The site’s operations reflect a stable, mission-driven organization with a clear public service mandate.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust. The absence of advanced security headers and security.txt file suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found, indicating a generally secure environment. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through cookie consent but lacks a formal privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, limiting assessment. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but should be enhanced to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a security policy and incident response plan.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve accessibility features to broaden usability and compliance with standards.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
