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

The website www.horus.si represents the Slovenian Award for Social Responsibility HORUS, managed by IRDO, a non-profit institute focused on promoting social responsibility and sustainable development. The site serves as an information hub for award calls, laureates, workshops, and news updates, targeting organizations and individuals interested in social responsibility within Slovenia. The business model is non-profit, centered on recognition and promotion rather than commercial sales. The domain age and content history support a credible and established presence in this niche. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with popular plugins like Slider Revolution and WPBakery Page Builder, ensuring a modern and responsive design. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile-optimized, though accessibility features are basic. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. However, it lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected, and contact information is clearly provided, enhancing credibility. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic recommendations include adding comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance user trust and regulatory 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

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

  2. 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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

HORUS is positioned as a reputable national award program in Slovenia, with a focus on social responsibility and sustainable development. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing history since 2009 and strong institutional backing by IRDO. The business model is non-commercial, relying on partnerships and institutional support. The target audience includes socially responsible organizations, NGOs, and individuals in Slovenia. The website content and news updates indicate active engagement and growth. Partnerships with IRDO and Nabium d.o.o. for production reflect a collaborative ecosystem. The site’s operations emphasize transparency and community engagement, though monetization details are not evident.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. The presence of Wordfence-related scripts suggests some security plugin usage. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency in security management. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, posing potential regulatory risks under GDPR. The site’s forms appear standard but lack visible advanced security controls. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Ensure all forms include anti-CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform using well-known plugins like Slider Revolution and WPBakery Page Builder, indicating a stable and flexible infrastructure. The use of modern fonts and icon libraries (FontAwesome, Material Icons) enhances visual appeal. Performance is moderate, with some heavy slider images that could be optimized further. The site is mobile responsive with basic accessibility features but could improve ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. Hosting details are not explicit, but no performance bottlenecks or errors were detected. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and lack of advanced security headers.
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.
