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

The website klima-adapt.sk is a Slovak government-backed platform dedicated to providing comprehensive information and resources on climate change adaptation. It serves both the general public and experts by offering news, educational content, monitoring data, and practical tools related to climate change impacts and mitigation strategies. The platform is operated by the Slovenská agentúra životného prostredia in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute, positioning it as a credible national resource. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery, hosted on a CMS platform called ScoreCMS. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. The presence of secure forms with CSRF tokens and HTTPS indicates a good security baseline, although explicit security headers and incident response policies are not visible. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid posture with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and advanced security headers which could further enhance its security maturity. Privacy compliance is adequate with visible privacy and cookie policies, and GDPR compliance is implied by the consent checkbox on the newsletter form. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally designed, and well-aligned with its governmental mission. It poses low risk to users and stakeholders. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and security policies, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and resilience.

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

8 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

Klima-adapt.sk operates as a government information platform focused on climate change adaptation in Slovakia. Its market position is strong as a national authoritative source supported by key environmental agencies. The business model is non-commercial, centered on public education and policy support. Key services include dissemination of climate data, news updates, educational FAQs, and practical adaptation tools. The target audience spans from laypersons to experts in environmental fields. The platform benefits from partnerships with Slovak government bodies, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. The platform's ecosystem is tightly integrated with national environmental institutions, ensuring alignment with governmental climate strategies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, nor a vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for compliance and transparency. Data protection practices appear adequate with GDPR-aligned consent mechanisms on forms. Overall, the security culture is implied to be moderate but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and implementing additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible from the website footer.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider adding a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed data retention and processing information.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor user engagement and improve services.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery, ensuring responsive design and good user experience across devices. The use of Google Fonts enhances typography aesthetics. The CMS platform ScoreCMS is used, which appears to support modular content management and SEO features. Performance is moderate with no obvious bottlenecks, though no explicit performance optimization techniques were detected. Accessibility features such as skip links and semantic HTML are present, contributing to usability. The site lacks advanced technical integrations such as analytics or marketing tools, which reduces complexity but also limits data-driven insights. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in analytics and security practices.
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.
