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

The website naucnechodniky.eu is an educational platform dedicated to providing comprehensive information about educational hiking trails in Slovakia. It serves primarily schools, educators, and the general public interested in nature, culture, and outdoor activities. The platform offers a searchable database of trails, educational materials, and interactive maps, positioning itself as a niche resource within the Slovak educational and tourism sectors. The site is developed and maintained by Progresio and affiliated with the Department of Physical Geography and Geoinformatics at Comenius University in Bratislava, lending academic credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern yet somewhat dated technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.7, jQuery, and FontAwesome. It integrates Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, and Smartlook for analytics and security purposes. The site is hosted by WEDOS Internet, a reputable Slovak hosting provider. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though some technical debt is noted in the use of multiple versions of libraries and older Bootstrap version. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent compliant with GDPR, and integrates anti-spam measures. However, explicit security headers are not clearly detected, and some outdated libraries could pose minor risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is strong with clear cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a solid educational mission, good technical implementation, and adequate security posture. Strategic improvements in updating libraries, consolidating scripts, and enhancing security headers would further strengthen the platform's resilience and user trust.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. 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

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 platform operates in the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on environmental education and tourism in Slovakia. Its market position is niche but authoritative due to academic backing. The business model appears non-commercial, likely funded or supported by academic or governmental grants. Key services include trail databases, educational content, and interactive tools for schools and tourists. The target audience is broad within Slovakia, including educators, students, and nature enthusiasts. The partnership ecosystem includes academic institutions and technology providers. Growth potential lies in expanding digital tools and educational outreach. The platform maintains a consistent brand and trustworthy presence, though direct business contact information is limited.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and GDPR cookie consent is implemented with opt-in features. Anti-spam protection via Google reCAPTCHA is active. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. The use of outdated Bootstrap and multiple jQuery versions introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy pages are present, indicating limited formal security governance documentation. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but could benefit from enhanced header policies and library updates.

Recommendations

  1. Update Bootstrap framework to the latest stable version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Consolidate and update FontAwesome and jQuery libraries to single, current versions to reduce conflicts and security risks.
  3. Implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to maintain security and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.7 with a combination of Bootstrap 3.3.7, jQuery, and FontAwesome for frontend styling and interactivity. It uses Leaflet for mapping functionalities and integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools including Google Analytics, MonsterInsights, and Smartlook. The site is hosted by WEDOS Internet, a Slovak hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Some technical debt is evident from loading multiple versions of jQuery and FontAwesome, and reliance on an older Bootstrap version. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and Google Fonts. Accessibility is basic but functional. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and optimize script loading for improved performance and security.
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.
