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

The website esluzby.bratislava.sk serves as the official electronic services portal for the city of Bratislava, Slovakia. It provides citizens and businesses with digital access to a variety of municipal services such as tax declarations, waste management notifications, vehicle status reporting, and public lighting fault reporting. The portal is positioned as the primary government interface for electronic communication with city authorities, enhancing convenience and reducing the need for physical office visits. The target audience includes residents and entrepreneurs within Bratislava. Technically, the site leverages a mature ASP.NET framework with common web technologies including jQuery, Google Web Fonts, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with HttpOnly cookies for session management, indicating a baseline of security best practices. The cookie consent mechanism complies with GDPR requirements, and the site includes a privacy policy page. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. From a security perspective, the portal demonstrates a solid foundation with encrypted communications and controlled cookie usage. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests an opportunity to enhance trust and preparedness. The use of third-party tracking services like Google Analytics and DoubleClick is disclosed via cookie consent, aligning with privacy regulations. Overall, the website is a trustworthy, well-structured government portal with good content quality and user experience. It effectively serves its public service mission with moderate technical sophistication and compliance. Strategic enhancements in security policies, headers, and transparency would further strengthen its posture and user confidence.

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

5 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 portal represents a key digital asset for the Bratislava city government, enabling streamlined electronic service delivery to its constituents. Its market position as the official municipal e-service platform provides a competitive advantage in public sector digital transformation. The business model is government-funded, focusing on service accessibility rather than revenue generation. The presence of EU co-financing logos indicates alignment with regional development initiatives. The portal targets a broad demographic of local residents and businesses, supporting civic engagement and administrative efficiency. Partnerships with Slovak government bodies and EU institutions reinforce its legitimacy and operational ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding service offerings and improving digital maturity. The portal's operations reflect a centralized approach to municipal service management, leveraging technology to reduce administrative burdens and enhance citizen satisfaction. Its integration with official contact channels and transparent privacy practices support a positive public image. However, the lack of advanced security certifications or incident response frameworks suggests a conservative risk posture typical of government entities.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and session cookies are marked HttpOnly, reducing common attack vectors. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR, demonstrating privacy awareness. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security limits protection against clickjacking, XSS, and protocol downgrade attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program reduces transparency and may delay security communications. The use of third-party analytics and advertising services introduces moderate tracking but is managed via consent. Overall, the portal is secure for general public use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to meet higher compliance standards such as NIS2 or ISO 27001.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to improve transparency and community engagement in security.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and cookie usage to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ASP.NET framework, utilizing jQuery and jQuery UI libraries for frontend interactivity. Google Web Fonts are used for typography, and Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. The HTML structure is valid and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of advanced security headers and limited accessibility features indicate areas for modernization. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but the domain and SSL configuration suggest a professionally managed government infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports the portal's functional requirements but could be enhanced for 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.
