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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

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

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for osf.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 foundation holds a solid market position in Slovakia's non-profit sector, focusing on democracy and human rights. Its business model revolves around grantmaking and project support, with revenue likely from donations and partnerships. The organization leverages regional collaborations and maintains a transparent communication channel with stakeholders. The website's content and structure support its mission effectively, with clear calls to action for donations and participation. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for donations and awards, enhancing its operational reach. Growth indicators include regular updates and active engagement with civil society programs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, DNSSEC, and GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. Use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of advanced HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for hardening. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid for a non-profit organization but can benefit from incremental enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Continue monitoring and auditing third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.4.5 with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. It uses several plugins including FooBox for image lightbox, Mailchimp for WP for newsletter integration, GDPR Cookie Compliance for privacy management, and qTranslate-X for multilingual support. The site loads multiple external scripts from Google Tag Manager, Facebook, and other trusted sources. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses DNSSEC and HTTPS, indicating a secure hosting environment. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some accessibility and security header improvements are recommended.
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.
