KRI – Inštitút pre klímu a rozvoj is an independent Slovak non-governmental think-tank specializing in integrating climate change considerations into regional and urban development planning. Established in 2004, it serves regional governments, municipalities, and policy makers by providing expert consulting, research, and strategy development focused on climate adaptation and socio-economic development. The organization maintains a professional online presence with a portfolio of projects and testimonials from regional leaders, reinforcing its credibility in the sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor, employing modern web technologies and Google Analytics for user insights. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and trustworthy, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

KRI occupies a niche market position as a specialized think-tank focused on climate change adaptation within regional development in Slovakia. Its business model centers on non-profit expert services including strategy formulation, policy influence, and knowledge transfer. The organization targets government entities and stakeholders interested in sustainable development. The presence of a detailed project portfolio and endorsements indicates active engagement and growth potential. The website's integration of social media and analytics tools suggests a moderate digital maturity. However, the absence of formal privacy and security policies may limit trust among privacy-conscious stakeholders. Strategic partnerships or expanded digital transparency could further enhance market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled, protecting data in transit. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden defenses against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact information indicates limited preparedness for vulnerability reporting or incident management. Additionally, the use of third-party analytics without a cookie consent mechanism raises privacy compliance concerns under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with implementation of recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident management.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance transparency around data collection and retention policies to build user trust and comply with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and Elementor Pro for page building, supported by jQuery and Swiper.js libraries for interactive elements. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved accessibility features and SEO enhancements such as structured metadata and Open Graph tags, which were not detected. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
