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

Slovenská asociácia organizátorov verejnej dopravy (SAOVD) is a Slovak non-profit association dedicated to coordinating and supporting regional integrated public transportation systems. It acts as a platform for its members to collaborate, advocate for legislative changes, and promote integrated transport solutions across Slovakia. The website reflects a professional and focused organization with clear contact information and partner affiliations to regional transport entities. Technically, the site uses established libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome, providing a moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage implied, but lacks explicit security policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the organization's claims, supporting legitimacy 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

12 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

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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

SAOVD holds a key position in Slovakia's public transportation sector as a coordinating association for regional transport organizers. Its business model centers on advocacy, coordination, and information exchange rather than commercial services. The association benefits from partnerships with major regional transport organizations, enhancing its influence and reach. The website content and linked partner domains reinforce its role as a central body in the Slovak integrated transport ecosystem. Growth indicators include active news updates and engagement in legislative and operational transport reforms. The absence of commercial advertising or tracking suggests a focus on service and information dissemination.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no explicit security headers (such as CSP, HSTS) were detected in the provided data. There is no visible cookie consent or privacy compliance banner, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency on security readiness. The use of older jQuery version (1.12.4) may pose some risk if not patched. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with modern security best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using common web technologies including jQuery 1.12.4, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and DataTables for tabular data presentation. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, likely due to use of older libraries and external CDN dependencies. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack and improve performance and security by updating libraries and adding security headers.
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.
