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

Slovenský národný komitét IWA is a professional national committee representing Slovak water management interests internationally within the International Water Association framework. The organization focuses on promoting Slovak water sector expertise, organizing conferences, and collaborating with partner organizations. The website is well designed using WordPress with Elementor and includes essential contact information and event news. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and enforces HTTPS with DNSSEC, enhancing security. However, it lacks published privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. Security posture is good with reCAPTCHA integration, but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response disclosures. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, serving a niche audience of water sector professionals in Slovakia.

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

11 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

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 stable market position as the Slovak national representative in the global water management community. Its business model is non-profit and focused on professional association activities, including event organization and international collaboration. The website indicates partnerships with recognized Slovak and international water-related organizations, enhancing credibility. The target audience includes professionals, academics, and stakeholders in water and environmental sectors. The domain age of over 20 years supports the organization's established presence. Revenue streams are likely based on membership, sponsorships, and event participation. The partnership ecosystem is strong with multiple Slovak and Czech water associations linked. Strategic observations suggest a focused, well-networked entity with opportunities to improve digital compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is implemented on contact forms to mitigate spam and abuse. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of published security policies, vulnerability disclosure, or incident response information indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls to strengthen defense-in-depth.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the OnePress theme and Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for frontend interactivity and spam protection. Hosting appears to be provided by Webglobe, inferred from nameservers. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations; mobile responsiveness is good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and RSS feeds. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve performance via caching and to enhance accessibility compliance. The technical stack is appropriate for the organization's size and scope, supporting stable operations.
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.
