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

7 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

    • 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

KOSIT holds a strong position in the Slovak waste management and energy sectors, leveraging a large customer base and extensive operational footprint. Its business model focuses on service provision to municipalities, industrial clients, and residents, supported by digital innovation and sustainability initiatives. The company benefits from partnerships with key industry associations and chambers of commerce, enhancing its influence and networking capabilities. Growth indicators include the launch of new divisions like KOSIT THERM and digital tools such as interactive waste collection maps and mobile applications. The company’s large employee base and long market history underscore its operational scale and stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a public security or incident response policy indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the analyzed content. The company does not publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be elevated with additional best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party libraries to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to foster a strong security culture within the organization.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
