Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Euroregion Silesia is a well-established non-profit association focused on fostering cross-border cooperation between Polish and Czech municipalities in the Upper Oder river basin. With over two decades of activity, it manages EU microproject funds and supports regional development initiatives. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting local governments, project applicants, and regional stakeholders. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Maps API, providing a responsive and navigable user experience. However, some technical improvements could enhance performance and security. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and standard tracking tools but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved protection. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR statements. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting the site's legitimacy.

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

13 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

      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';…

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 organization operates as a regional government/non-profit entity managing EU-funded cross-border projects. Its market position is stable with a long operational history and a clear focus on microproject funds and regional cooperation. The business model revolves around facilitating cooperation, managing funds, and disseminating information. The target audience includes municipalities, project partners, and citizens in the Euroregion Silesia area. The website supports this with detailed project information, news updates, and contact details. Partnerships with Czech counterparts and EU programs are evident. The presence of social media and external links to partner sites indicates an active engagement ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security level. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found. The use of older Google Analytics (ga.js) could be updated to newer versions for better privacy controls. The site would benefit from implementing cookie consent mechanisms and enhancing security headers to align with best practices and GDPR requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Upgrade analytics to newer privacy-focused versions and review tracking practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap 4.1.3, jQuery 3.3.1, and FontAwesome 5.4.2. Google Maps API integration enhances user experience with interactive maps. The site is mobile responsive and has good navigation clarity. However, no CMS or backend technology is detected, suggesting a custom-built site. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The use of service workers indicates progressive web app features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt appears low but updating some libraries and adding security enhancements is advisable.
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.
