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

The website www.obeccerova.sk serves as the official online presence of the municipality of Cerová in Slovakia. It provides comprehensive information about local government, community life, public documents, waste collection schedules, and news updates relevant to residents and visitors. The site targets local citizens and stakeholders interested in municipal affairs. Technically, the website employs a mix of popular frontend libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, OwlCarousel, and Fancybox, alongside Google Fonts and reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and basic accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present, although some libraries like jQuery are slightly outdated and could be updated to enhance security. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent banner and a dedicated privacy policy page, indicating GDPR awareness. No terms of service or explicit security policies are found, which could be improved. Overall, the domain registration data aligns with the municipal nature of the site, confirming legitimacy and trustworthiness. No blocking or WAF interference was detected, allowing full content access and analysis.

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

8 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, Cloudflare, Google APIs

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

    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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Cerová's municipal website positions itself as a key information hub for local governance and community engagement. It leverages digital tools to disseminate official documents, announcements, and service schedules, supporting transparency and citizen participation. The business model is public sector focused, providing free access to information rather than commercial services. The site integrates social media channels to extend outreach. While the site does not display commercial revenue streams, it fulfills an essential role in local administration. The partnership with samospravaonline.sk for invoice and order publishing indicates collaboration with specialized service providers. Growth indicators include regular news updates and event calendars. The website's ecosystem is primarily local government oriented with no evident commercial partnerships beyond service platforms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a municipal site. HTTPS is enforced, and multiple security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy are present, reducing common web attack vectors. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is implemented to protect forms from automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were found in the HTML. However, the use of an older jQuery version (3.4.1) presents a moderate risk and should be updated to mitigate known vulnerabilities. The absence of a security.txt file or explicit incident response contacts limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site balances usability and security well but could enhance its security culture by publishing formal policies and updating dependencies.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest stable versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Expand SEO metadata and structured data to improve search engine visibility and indexing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or less common CMS platform, integrating multiple well-known frontend libraries such as Bootstrap, jQuery, OwlCarousel, and Fancybox for UI components and interactivity. Google Fonts and weather widgets enhance user experience. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly, with a moderate performance profile likely influenced by multiple external scripts and image assets. The HTML structure is valid with proper meta tags, though some SEO and accessibility improvements are possible. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified in the HTML. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and optimization efforts.
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.
