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

The website psk.sk serves as the official online presence of the Prešov Self-Governing Region, a governmental entity in Slovakia. It provides regional governance information, public announcements, and administrative services targeted at residents and stakeholders of the region. The site is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging Yoast SEO for optimization and Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. The technical infrastructure is modern and adequately maintained, hosted by websupport.sk with DNSSEC and HTTPS enabled, ensuring a secure browsing experience. Security posture is solid with best practices like cookie consent and stop user enumeration plugin, though it lacks explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, but could improve privacy compliance and transparency by publishing privacy and terms of service pages and providing clear contact information.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • 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. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Prešovský samosprávny kraj operates as a regional government body providing essential public services and information to its constituency. The website reflects a government business model focused on transparency and service delivery rather than commercial revenue. Its market position is that of an official regional authority, with no direct competitors in its niche. The site targets local residents, businesses, and visitors seeking regional administrative information. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but hosting and technical services are provided by websupport.sk. Growth indicators include ongoing content updates and multilingual support (Slovak, English, Polish). Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital accessibility and public engagement, with opportunities to enhance user trust through improved privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, DNSSEC enabled, and use of security plugins like stop user enumeration. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, aligning with GDPR principles. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from implementing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could be strengthened by formalizing policies and improving user communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, processing, and user rights to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and legal clarity.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include explicit contact information including security and incident response emails to facilitate communication.
  5. Enhance security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.1 with Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern CMS platform optimized for search engines. Google Tag Manager and Hotjar are used for analytics and user behavior tracking, reflecting a data-driven approach to user experience. Hosting is provided by websupport.sk, a Slovak hosting provider, with DNSSEC enabled for DNS security.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure government website.
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.
