Obec Machulince operates as the official municipal website for the local government of Machulince, Slovakia. It serves as a central information hub for residents and visitors, providing news, announcements, contact details, public documents, and weather forecasts. The site also promotes mobile applications for Android and iOS, enhancing accessibility and engagement. The business model is focused on public sector service delivery and community communication, positioning itself as a trusted local government resource. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google reCAPTCHA for form security, Facebook SDK for social integration, and the Bulma CSS framework for responsive design. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured content. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and standard security measures such as CAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide visible privacy or cookie policies, nor incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. These gaps represent opportunities for improving compliance and user trust. Overall, the website is a professional and trustworthy municipal portal with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would enhance its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mailin.mx-hub.net

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention obecmachulince.sk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for obecmachulince.sk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website targets local residents and stakeholders of Machulince municipality, providing essential government communications and services. Its competitive advantage lies in official status and comprehensive local content including news, public notices, and event information. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service site. The partnership ecosystem includes Google and Facebook for analytics and social features. Growth indicators include active news updates and mobile app availability. The site reflects a stable, small-sized government entity focused on community engagement and transparency.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate with HTTPS enforced and use of CAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of security headers and lack of published privacy and cookie policies indicate compliance gaps with GDPR and best practices. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which may delay handling of security events. The security culture appears basic but can be improved by formalizing policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, Bulma CSS, and integration of Google and Facebook services. It is mobile responsive and accessible with good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and caching. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, which may require dedicated maintenance. No major technical debt or risks were identified, but adding security headers and optimizing third-party scripts would enhance robustness.
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.
