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

EuroInstytut Polsko-Czesko-Słowacki is a small non-profit organization dedicated to fostering cross-border cooperation between Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. The institute provides specialized training, consultancy, research, and educational services aimed at regional development and partnership building. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear contact information and EU funding acknowledgments, positioning it as a credible regional educational entity. Technically, the website uses standard JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Cycle2 for UI components and integrates a cookie consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. While the site is accessible and well-structured, there is room for improvement in SEO, accessibility, and security headers implementation. Security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but the absence of visible security headers and detailed security policies suggests opportunities for enhancement. Overall, the website is trustworthy and compliant with GDPR, with a low risk profile for users and stakeholders.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 organization operates in the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on cross-border cooperation and regional development. Its business model relies on EU funding and partnerships with regional institutions. The website indicates a niche market position with specialized services including interactive and specialist training, consultancy, and research projects. The presence of multiple partner domains and detailed contact persons suggests a collaborative ecosystem. The lack of social media presence may limit outreach but aligns with the organization's focused regional scope. The business appears stable with a clear mission and consistent branding, founded around 2014, which aligns with the domain's implied age. The organization's operations are transparent with trust signals such as partner logos and privacy policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, indicating privacy awareness. However, no HTTP security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, HSTS) were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the source. The login form uses POST method but lacks visible anti-CSRF tokens or advanced security measures in the HTML. There is no dedicated security policy or incident response information available, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen web security.
  2. Conduct a thorough SSL/TLS configuration audit to ensure strong encryption and prevent downgrade attacks.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery and jQuery UI libraries for UI components. The Cycle2 plugin is used for slideshow banners. CookieScript is integrated for cookie consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. The site uses a custom base href and relative paths for resources. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML. Performance is moderate with multiple CSS and JS files loaded, but no explicit performance optimization techniques detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive meta viewport and mobile menu support. Accessibility is basic with alt attributes on images but no ARIA landmarks or advanced accessibility features. SEO is basic with minimal meta description and keywords tags present but empty. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and optimization.
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.
