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

Slovenský kozmetologický zväz (SKZ) is a Slovak independent professional association focused on the cosmetics industry, uniting manufacturers, importers, distributors, educators, researchers, and experts in related fields. The organization promotes professional standards, research, manufacturing best practices, and consumer safety in cosmetics within Slovakia. The website serves as an information hub for members and the public, featuring event announcements, news, and organizational details. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins like WooCommerce and Elementor, providing a modern but moderately optimized infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of a privacy policy page, though a cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 SKZ operates as a small-sized non-profit professional association in the cosmetics sector in Slovakia, holding membership in the international IFSCC federation, which enhances its credibility. Its business model revolves around member services, industry events, research dissemination, and advisory roles. The website targets industry professionals and stakeholders, providing event information, organizational news, and resources. The association's market position is national with international affiliations, focusing on maintaining high standards in cosmetics production and safety. The lack of detailed business registration data on the site is typical for non-profits but could be improved for transparency. The partnership ecosystem includes international bodies like IFSCC. The website content and structure support its role as an authoritative industry resource.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communications, and uses standard WordPress security practices. However, it lacks several important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided data. Forms are standard contact and search forms without visible advanced protections. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, formal security policies, and regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing terms of service and incident response policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using popular plugins such as WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and Elementor for page building. It uses jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome for UI and interactivity. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from both local and CDN sources, indicating a hybrid hosting and resource delivery model. Performance is moderate with some optimization potential, especially in reducing external dependencies and improving caching. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design evident. SEO basics are covered but could be improved with better meta tags and structured data. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced for compliance with standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but has room for modernization and optimization.
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.
