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

Scenár pre Košice is a Slovak government and non-profit initiative focused on strategic economic and social development planning for the city of Košice and its surrounding municipalities. The website serves as a platform for community engagement, inviting citizens to contribute ideas and feedback to shape the city's future over the next seven years. It provides access to relevant documents, surveys via embedded Typeform, and contact information for involved organizations. The project is positioned as a collaborative effort between the city government and Creative Industry Košice, emphasizing inclusivity and transparency. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, utilizing jQuery and the AOS animation library, with embedded Typeform for interactive surveys. Hosting appears to be managed by Websupport, with DNSSEC enabled and HTTPS enforced, indicating a secure and modern infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a consistent branding aligned with official city imagery. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and DNSSEC, and implements a cookie consent banner linked to a GDPR policy hosted on the official city domain. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide a dedicated security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by clear cookie and privacy notices, though terms of service and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid foundation in content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility, with room for improvement in security best practices and formal compliance documentation. The domain registration is consistent with the website's purpose and geographic focus, enhancing trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes to strengthen the security posture and user trust.

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. 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 17 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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 website represents a government-led strategic planning initiative for Košice, Slovakia, targeting local citizens and stakeholders. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on community engagement and transparent governance. The project leverages partnerships with local organizations such as Creative Industry Košice to broaden outreach. The initiative's competitive advantage lies in its official backing and comprehensive approach to urban development, integrating citizen input with formal planning. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service. The target customer segment includes residents of Košice and neighboring municipalities, spanning diverse demographics. Growth indicators include active document publication and interactive surveys. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes official city and creative industry entities. Operationally, the website supports strategic communication and participatory governance, positioning it as a credible and authoritative source for local development planning.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS and DNSSEC are properly implemented, ensuring secure communications and domain integrity. The presence of a cookie consent banner linked to a GDPR policy indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The embedded Typeform survey is a potential vector for data collection but appears to be securely integrated. No exposed credentials, malware, or vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but could be enhanced with more explicit documentation. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but would benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and site discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform version 6.8.1, utilizing jQuery 3.7.1 and the AOS animation library for enhanced user interface effects. It integrates an embedded Typeform widget for interactive surveys, facilitating community feedback collection. Hosting is provided by Websupport, as indicated by the nameservers and DNSSEC configuration, which adds a layer of domain security. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted data transmission. Performance is moderate, with responsive design elements supporting mobile devices. SEO and accessibility are basic but functional, with room for improvement in meta tags and ARIA attributes. The technical stack is standard for government informational sites, balancing ease of content management with user engagement features. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, suggesting a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
