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

KZEI is the Department of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Faculty of Civil Engineering. The department provides academic education, research projects, and certification services related to water supply and sewage systems. It targets students, researchers, and professionals in the environmental engineering sector. The website reflects a small academic entity with consistent branding and professional content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks such as Bootstrap and Elementor. It uses HTTPS with Google reCAPTCHA for form security and Jetpack for analytics. The site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA but lacks security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but should improve privacy compliance and security headers to enhance its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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"

      • 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

KZEI operates as an academic department within a technical university, focusing on sanitary and environmental engineering education and research. Its business model revolves around academic teaching, research projects, and certification services. The department collaborates with partners and supports young researchers. The website indicates a stable market position within the education sector in Slovakia, targeting students and academic collaborators. The presence of project links and partner pages suggests active engagement in research and academic partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting the contact form. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible security or incident response policy, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Privacy compliance is insufficient, lacking privacy and cookie policies, which could pose regulatory risks under GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using a combination of popular plugins such as Contact Form 7, Jetpack, TablePress, and Elementor page builder. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for spam protection on forms. The site loads external resources from trusted domains like Google Fonts and WordPress CDN. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by the All in One SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No hosting provider details were detected from the HTML content.
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.
