Technically, it is built on Drupal CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes, with a clear cookie consent mechanism in place. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and anonymized analytics tracking, though additional security headers and explicit incident response policies could enhance protection.

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

10 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

The MÁV-csoport website positions the company as Hungary's leading rail transportation provider, offering a broad range of services including passenger transport, infrastructure management, and customer engagement through apps and loyalty programs. The business model relies on public transportation services with digital ticketing and travel planning tools. The presence of multiple subsidiary domains and service portals indicates a diversified but integrated ecosystem. The company targets a wide audience from daily commuters to international travelers and leverages marketing tools to enhance customer reach. The website's content and structure support transparency and accessibility, reinforcing the company's market leadership and operational maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR requirements. Use of anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics and opt-in marketing cookies shows privacy awareness. However, the absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security.txt or incident response contact reduce the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from enhanced security policies and clearer incident response channels to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for UI and functionality. It uses Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, with cookie consent implemented via EU Cookie Compliance modules. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with responsive CSS and ARIA landmarks. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded, some from external sources. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance optimizations and security enhancements. Hosting details are not explicitly available 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.
