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

Prometni institut Ljubljana d.o.o is a well-established Slovenian research and development organization specializing in transport, particularly railway transport. The company operates as part of the Slovenske železnice group and holds a leading position in national and international transport research projects. Their services encompass transport technology, infrastructure, economic and legal research, investment documentation, and digitalization in transport. The website reflects a professional and credible business with clear contact information, GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, and ISO 9001:2015 certification, reinforcing trust. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Gravity Forms for data collection, jQuery, and various UI libraries. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, though some security headers could be improved. HTTPS is enforced, and no critical vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism and collects minimal user data primarily via a contact form. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and spam protection on forms, but lacks publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The domain is long-standing and consistent with the business profile, indicating high legitimacy. No WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with content access. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy, professional, and secure digital presence for a medium-sized transport research entity. Strategic improvements could include enhanced security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure channels to further strengthen security and compliance.

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

6 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. 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"

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

The company is positioned as a key player in Slovenia's transport research sector, leveraging its affiliation with Slovenske železnice to participate in numerous international projects. Its business model focuses on research, consultancy, and development services targeting government, transport operators, and international partners. The presence of sister companies within the group suggests a broad ecosystem supporting various transport-related services. The company’s growth is supported by active participation in EU-funded projects and alliances, enhancing its competitive advantage and market reach. The website content and linked domains confirm a stable and credible business operation with a clear focus on transport innovation and infrastructure development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable plugins like Gravity Forms with spam protection. Cookie consent is implemented in compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response policy or dedicated security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance advertising transparency by disclosing any tracking or marketing tools if used in the future.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and well-maintained technology stack including jQuery, Font Awesome, Animate.css, and Gravity Forms for interactive features. The site loads scripts and styles efficiently from both local and CDN sources. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, including ARIA roles and keyboard navigation aids. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing image sizes and script loading strategies. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly web presence.
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.
