75/100

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

HungaroMet Magyar Meteorológiai Szolgáltató Nonprofit Zrt. is the official Hungarian government meteorological service, providing comprehensive weather forecasts, climate data, air quality monitoring, and specialized meteorological services for sectors such as aviation and agriculture. The organization holds a strong market position as the national authority in meteorology, serving a broad audience including the general public, government agencies, and specialized industries. The website reflects this role with rich, relevant content and consistent branding. Technically, the website employs a custom or legacy CMS with jQuery 1.6.2 and Font Awesome for UI elements, alongside Google Analytics for visitor tracking. While the site is functional and moderately optimized, there is room for modernization, particularly in updating JavaScript libraries and enhancing mobile responsiveness. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating compliance with GDPR. However, additional security headers are absent, and the use of an outdated jQuery version could pose vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or critical security issues were detected. Incident response information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not explicitly provided, representing an area for improvement. Overall, HungaroMet's website is a trustworthy and authoritative source for meteorological information in Hungary, with a solid security posture and good privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security headers, library updates, and incident response transparency would further strengthen its resilience and user trust.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

HungaroMet operates as a government-owned nonprofit entity focused on meteorological and environmental services. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive data offerings, including weather forecasts, climate monitoring, and air quality information. The business model centers on public service and regulatory compliance rather than commercial revenue generation. Target customers include government bodies, aviation and agricultural sectors, researchers, and the general public. The organization demonstrates growth through multiple linked projects and partnerships, such as climate data initiatives and disaster risk assessment. The partnership ecosystem includes specialized subdomains and projects that enhance service breadth and depth. Operationally, HungaroMet maintains a consistent brand and authoritative presence, reinforcing its market leadership in Hungary's meteorological domain.

Security posture

HungaroMet's website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. The absence of critical vulnerabilities and exposed sensitive data indicates sound baseline security practices. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.6.2) introduces potential risks from known vulnerabilities in legacy libraries. The lack of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth capabilities. Incident response contact details and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available, limiting transparency and responsiveness to security events. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls to mitigate emerging threats and comply with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement modern security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices and for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving GDPR and data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy jQuery 1.6.2 library alongside Font Awesome icons and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is valid and includes comprehensive meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter Cards). The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS, with no popular CMS detected. Performance is moderate with multiple iframe embeds which may impact load times. Mobile optimization is basic, with some CSS and JavaScript enhancements but no clear responsive framework. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization and performance tuning.
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.
