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

The website klima-adapt.sk is a Slovak government environmental platform dedicated to providing comprehensive information on climate change adaptation. It serves both laypersons and experts with a focus on national, regional, and local levels. The platform offers news, events, publications, tools, and educational content related to climate adaptation. The site is operated by the Slovak Environment Agency in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute, indicating strong governmental backing and credibility. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and Google Fonts, and is built on the ScoreCMS content management system. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with structured navigation and clear content presentation. Performance is moderate, with no major technical issues detected in the provided data. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enforced, and forms include CSRF tokens and required fields, indicating basic security hygiene. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. Privacy compliance is basic but present, with a privacy policy and cookie policy accessible. The newsletter subscription form collects minimal personal data with explicit consent. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility as a government information portal. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and implementing explicit cookie consent mechanisms to improve compliance and security posture.

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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 platform is positioned as a key governmental resource for climate adaptation information in Slovakia, targeting both the general public and professionals. Its business model is informational and educational, supported by government agencies. The site leverages partnerships with Slovak environmental and meteorological institutions, enhancing its authority. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. The partnership ecosystem is strong within Slovak government bodies, ensuring content reliability and trust. Strategically, the platform fills a critical niche in climate adaptation awareness and education, supporting national climate strategies. Its comprehensive content and event listings position it as a central hub for climate-related information in Slovakia.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. GDPR compliance is indicated but could be strengthened with clearer cookie consent mechanisms and data retention policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational government site but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate security issue reporting.
  3. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to explicitly obtain and manage user consent in compliance with GDPR.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase transparency on data protection practices including data retention and processing details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern tech stack featuring Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Google Fonts for typography. It uses the ScoreCMS content management system, which appears to support structured content and modular design. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and canonical URLs. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. There is an opportunity to improve technical robustness by adding security headers and optimizing resource loading. The infrastructure appears stable and suitable for a government informational platform.
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.
