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. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic operates as a key government entity responsible for national financial governance, budgeting, and regulatory oversight of financial markets. Its business model is public service and regulatory enforcement, with no commercial revenue streams. The website supports transparency and public communication, offering detailed legislative documents, financial statistics, and organizational information. The ministry maintains an active social media presence to engage with stakeholders. The site’s market position is that of a central government authority, with high credibility and trust. There are no indications of subsidiaries or parent companies, consistent with its government status. The ministry’s digital presence supports its mandate to inform and regulate, with strategic use of analytics and cookie consent to balance user experience and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. Forms incorporate anti-spam tokens, reducing risk of automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a security gap that could be exploited in certain attack vectors like clickjacking or MIME sniffing. The use of an older jQuery version (3.3.1) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not patched. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML source. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and GDPR compliant, indicating good privacy and data protection practices. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which is common for government sites but could be improved for transparency. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from enhanced HTTP security headers and updated libraries.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other third-party libraries to their latest stable versions to reduce exposure to known security flaws.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery 3.3.1 for DOM manipulation, Google Fonts for typography, and Google Charts for data visualization. It is built on the WebJET CMS platform, which is specialized for government and institutional websites. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously, including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, indicating a mature approach to performance and analytics. The presence of anti-spam tokens in forms shows attention to security in user input handling. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the use of an older jQuery version and lack of explicit security headers suggest some technical debt and security risks. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external dependencies and rich content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from 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.
