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. 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

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 holds a leading position in Slovakia's youth science competition sector, leveraging partnerships with government bodies and educational institutions. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on event organization and youth development rather than commercial revenue. The website's integration with social media and external forms indicates a mature digital presence. The partnership with AMAVET and related domains strengthens its ecosystem. Growth indicators include regular event updates, news coverage of international successes, and active registration campaigns. The lack of commercial advertising suggests a focus on mission over monetization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be a gap in readiness. The use of popular WordPress plugins requires ongoing patch management to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but could be enhanced with formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Consider adding terms of service to clarify user and participant obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, MonsterInsights for analytics, and KingComposer for page building. The tech stack is modern and supports SEO and user engagement features. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification evident. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility could be improved. The site relies on external resources from Google Fonts, jQuery UI, and SumoMe marketing tools. No hosting provider details are explicitly found. The technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but should focus on security hardening and accessibility enhancements.
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.
