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

The website idsbbsk.sk serves as the official portal for the Integrovaný dopravný systém Banskobystrického samosprávneho kraja (IDS BBSK), a regional integrated transport system in Slovakia. It provides comprehensive information about regional bus services, ticketing options, schedules, and passenger information targeted primarily at residents and travelers within the Banskobystrický region, including seniors and students. The site also supports multilingual access and offers an e-shop for purchasing tickets, reflecting a mature digital presence for a regional public service entity. Technically, the site is built on WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. Hosting is provided by WebSupport, with DNSSEC enabled and HTTPS enforced, indicating a secure and reliable infrastructure. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility could be further improved. From a security perspective, the website employs HTTPS and DNSSEC, uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, and does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and does not provide explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be areas for enhancement. Overall, idsbbsk.sk is a professionally maintained, trustworthy regional government service website with good content quality and technical implementation. It effectively balances user experience, privacy compliance, and security, making it a reliable resource for its target audience.

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.

Priority findings

4 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

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

IDS BBSK operates as a regional transportation authority under the Banskobystrický samosprávny kraj, focusing on integrated bus transport services. Its business model centers on providing public transit information, ticket sales, and customer support, with revenue likely derived from ticketing and government funding. The website's multilingual support and e-shop integration indicate a customer-centric approach aimed at improving accessibility and convenience. The partnership with the regional government (bbsk.sk) strengthens its market position as the official transport organizer. The presence of regular news updates and strategic documents suggests active engagement with stakeholders and continuous service improvement. The company targets local commuters, seniors, and students, positioning itself as an essential public service within the Slovak transportation sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, ensuring encrypted communications and DNS integrity. The use of Cookiebot for consent management aligns with GDPR requirements, reflecting good privacy practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate room for improvement. The site does not appear to be protected by a WAF or show signs of security blocking, which suggests reliance on hosting provider security measures. Overall, the security maturity is good for a regional government service site but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure guidelines and contact information for security researchers.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve responsiveness to security incidents.
  4. Conduct regular third-party script audits to ensure no vulnerable or outdated libraries are used, especially for analytics and consent management tools.
  5. Enhance website accessibility compliance to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

It uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, alongside Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and appropriate for a regional government service website.
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.
