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

IAB Slovakia is the largest Slovak digital association operating in the internet advertising sector. It provides market rules, standards, ethical codes, supports professional networking, educates digital marketing professionals, and measures the traffic of Slovak online media. The website is built on WordPress and integrates modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, Hotjar for user behavior analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional content. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Cookie consent is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with detailed cookie categorization and user control. However, no explicit terms of service or security policy pages were found, and direct contact emails or phone numbers are not exposed on the site, relying on contact forms instead. WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy and consistency of the domain registration with the organization's identity. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with good security and privacy practices, suitable for its role as a professional industry association.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

IAB Slovakia holds a strong market position as the leading digital advertising association in Slovakia, focusing on setting industry standards, ethical guidelines, and providing education and networking opportunities. Its business model is non-profit and membership-based, targeting digital marketing professionals, advertisers, and online media. The organization leverages partnerships with major technology providers like Google and Meta for analytics and advertising. The website content and structure reflect a focus on professional services and industry leadership. Growth indicators include active content updates and comprehensive cookie and privacy compliance. The partnership ecosystem includes major ad networks and analytics providers, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security. The integration of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate bot traffic. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance and user control over data collection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could improve incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with formalized policies and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and cookies to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme and uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, Hotjar for analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with preloading of key images and use of CDN-hosted resources. Security headers are well configured, and HTTPS is enforced. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security and privacy documentation.
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.
