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

ESMAO is a Slovak-based technology solution provider specializing in electronic services for municipalities and public administration. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of components including a centralized portal, submission management, payment modules, and integration with national eGovernment systems (ÚPVS). Serving over 125 territorial self-governments and more than one million users, ESMAO holds a significant position in the Slovak eGovernment market. The business is operated by Nuaktiv, a company focused on custom software development for public sector needs. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack with Bootstrap, jQuery, and various UI plugins to deliver a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site is mobile-optimized and includes interactive elements such as sliders and maps. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, cookie consent with granular user control, and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. However, there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and implementing advanced security headers. From a security posture perspective, the site demonstrates good practices but lacks formal documentation on incident response and vulnerability disclosure. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, reinforcing legitimacy. Privacy compliance is partially met with cookie consent but lacks a visible privacy policy. Overall, ESMAO presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with solid business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and privacy documentation would further strengthen its posture and compliance.

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

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      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

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

ESMAO operates primarily in the Government and Technology sectors, targeting municipalities, public administration bodies, citizens, and integrated service points. Its business model revolves around providing electronic service platforms and integration tools that comply with Slovak eGovernment legislation. The company leverages partnerships with municipalities and showcases client references from major Slovak cities. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, implementation services, and ongoing support. The presence of a mobile app and digital conferences indicates active engagement with the market and continuous product development. Nuaktiv, the parent company, anchors the business with software development expertise. The ecosystem includes integration with national platforms and payment modules, positioning ESMAO as a key player in Slovak digital public services.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and bot attacks on forms. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed user options, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in formal security governance. No security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting potential improvements in HTTP header security. The technical stack uses common libraries without known vulnerabilities at the time of analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good baseline protections but lacking in transparency and advanced controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and expose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS or framework utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates several UI plugins such as Revolution Slider, Owl Carousel, and Magnific Popup to enhance user experience. Google Maps API is used for location display. The site loads scripts and styles efficiently, though performance is moderate rather than fast. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the target audience but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
