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

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 library operates as a government-funded public service entity in the education sector, targeting youth and the general public in Košice. It maintains partnerships with cultural and governmental organizations, enhancing its community presence. The business model focuses on providing free or low-cost access to educational resources and cultural enrichment. The website content and structure support community engagement and transparency, including detailed information about services, projects, and contact details. The presence of multiple social media channels and a transparent organizational structure indicates a mature digital presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML content. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, which could be improved to strengthen security culture. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism also poses a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance website security.
  3. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security readiness and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery libraries, providing a modern and responsive design. Google Fonts and FontAwesome are used for typography and icons. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, some deferred for performance. The HTML structure is valid and well-organized, supporting good navigation and content presentation. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced.
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.
