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

The website prievidza.sk serves as the official digital portal for the city of Prievidza, Slovakia, providing residents and visitors with comprehensive municipal information, public services, news, and event updates. It targets local citizens and tourists, offering easy access to administrative resources and community engagement tools. The site is well-positioned as a trusted government resource with a clear focus on transparency and accessibility. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO enhancements via the Yoast plugin, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor insights. The infrastructure appears stable and moderately performant, with mobile optimization and basic accessibility features in place. Hosting is inferred to be managed by Euronet, a reputable provider, supported by consistent DNS records. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. While no advanced security headers were detected, the use of a stop user enumeration plugin indicates attention to common WordPress vulnerabilities. No critical security issues or vulnerabilities were found in the content or configuration. However, the absence of explicit security policies or vulnerability disclosure channels suggests room for improvement in security transparency. Overall, prievidza.sk is a credible, well-maintained municipal website with good content quality and user experience. Strategic enhancements in security policy publication and header implementation would further strengthen its posture and trustworthiness.

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

5 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, YouTube

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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  3. 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

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

Prievidza's website reflects a government entity focused on serving its local community through digital means. The business model is non-commercial, centered on public service delivery and information dissemination. The site supports community engagement via news, events, and social media integration. Partnerships with local organizations and sponsors like Nestle and regional media indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The domain's longevity since 2003 and consistent branding reinforce its established market position. Revenue streams are typical for municipal entities, likely funded by public budgets rather than commercial activities. The site’s content and structure suggest a medium-sized operation with a focus on transparency and accessibility.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent banner demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations. The site uses a WordPress plugin to mitigate user enumeration attacks, indicating proactive vulnerability management. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security contact information is published, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to standardize vulnerability reporting and demonstrate security commitment.

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.
