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

Malé Karpaty operates as a regional tourism portal focused on promoting the Malé Karpaty region in Slovakia. The website offers comprehensive information on local attractions, events, accommodation, and an integrated e-commerce platform for local products and experiences. It targets tourists and visitors interested in cultural, natural, and gastronomic experiences in the region. The business model combines tourism promotion with direct sales of experiences and products, positioning itself as a key regional player in hospitality and travel services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Video.js, and various UI libraries. Hosting is provided by HostCreators, with good performance and mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, enabling moderate user tracking with GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and domain transfer protection. However, explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options are not detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were found, but improvements in security transparency and headers are recommended. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy, with a strong regional focus. It complies with GDPR requirements and provides a positive user experience. Strategic enhancements in security policies and incident response readiness would further strengthen its posture.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

Malé Karpaty holds a solid position as a regional tourism promoter with a diversified business model that includes event promotion, accommodation listings, and e-commerce for local products. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive regional focus and integration of multiple services on a single platform. Revenue streams likely include e-commerce sales, event ticketing, and possibly advertising partnerships. The target customer segment is tourists and visitors to the Malé Karpaty region, including domestic and international travelers. The partnership ecosystem includes local wine tasting events, thematic map providers, and regional tourism boards, enhancing its market reach and service offerings. Growth indicators include active content updates, multimedia integration, and social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with a valid SSL certificate, and domain registration includes transfer protection. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented to comply with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, and incident response contacts are not provided, which limits transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts and analytics tools introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but can be improved with enhanced headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and UI frameworks to deliver a rich multimedia experience, including video backgrounds and interactive carousels. Hosting is managed by HostCreators, indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with caching enabled via LiteSpeed Cache. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and the lack of some security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize accessibility and security configurations to align with best practices.
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.
