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

The Slovak Alliance for Innovation Economy SAPIE is a small, regionally focused alliance dedicated to promoting innovation and economic development within Slovakia's technology sector. Founded in 2013, the organization appears to serve as a networking and support platform for businesses and stakeholders involved in the innovation economy. The website is professionally designed using the Squarespace platform, featuring integrations such as Google reCAPTCHA and Facebook Customer Chat, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the site lacks comprehensive privacy and security policies, which are critical for compliance and trust. The security posture is generally good, with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, but could be enhanced by enabling HSTS and publishing incident response information. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and moderately optimized, but improvements in privacy compliance and contact transparency are recommended.

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. 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"

    • 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

SAPIE positions itself as an important player in Slovakia's innovation ecosystem, likely operating as a non-profit alliance or industry association. Its business model revolves around fostering innovation, economic growth, and collaboration among technology stakeholders. The alliance maintains an active social media presence across major platforms, enhancing its outreach and engagement. The domain age and registration data align well with the organization's founding date, supporting legitimacy. While the website content is basic, it effectively communicates the organization's purpose and branding. The lack of detailed contact information and formal policies suggests room for growth in transparency and governance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and DNSSEC is enabled, which are strong indicators of secure domain management. The use of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse on forms, and Facebook Customer Chat integration is present for user engagement. However, the absence of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and missing published security or incident response policies represent gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is good but could be improved by adopting additional headers and formalizing security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS and protect against protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including official emails and phone numbers to enhance credibility.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party integrations and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Fonts, FontAwesome icons, Facebook SDK, and Google reCAPTCHA. Hosting is managed via Websupport as indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations, and mobile responsiveness is good. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal with some meta tags and Open Graph data included. The technical stack is stable and suitable for the organization's needs but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
