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

Potravinová banka Slovenska (PBS) is a Slovak non-profit humanitarian organization focused on collecting and distributing surplus food to those in need. The website serves as an informational platform targeting donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries within Slovakia. The organization is relatively new, founded in 2023, and operates primarily within the non-profit sector. The website content is primarily in Slovak and provides statements aligned with public health authorities and humanitarian principles. Technically, the website uses standard HTML and CSS with some jQuery components and is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services. Mobile optimization and SEO are basic but functional. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and formal security policies. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which is a compliance gap. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.

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

7 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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

  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 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
  • 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

PBS operates as a small-sized non-profit entity in Slovakia, focusing on food bank activities. Its market position is national, serving as a key humanitarian organization for food redistribution. The business model relies on donations, volunteer coordination, and partnerships with food suppliers. The website includes an affiliate link to promocodius.com, indicating some marketing or fundraising efforts. The organization does not display certifications or formal trust seals on the site. The lack of contact details and privacy policies may hinder trust and donor engagement. Growth potential exists through improved digital presence and compliance adherence. No related or partner domains were identified beyond the affiliate link.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS, which are positive security indicators. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There are no visible forms to assess input validation or secure data handling. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap with GDPR requirements. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, limiting transparency in case of security events. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for organizational transparency and user trust.
  4. Introduce an incident response policy and dedicated security contact channels to improve security readiness.
  5. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard HTML5 and CSS3 with some jQuery-based components for UI elements like sliders. It uses Cloudflare nameservers, indicating some level of DNS security and potential CDN benefits. The site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications, suggesting a custom or simple static site. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design improvements, accessibility enhancements, and implementation of modern SEO and security standards.
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.
