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

The website www.sk-cz.eu serves as the official online presence for the Interreg Slovensko – Česko cross-border cooperation program, managed by the Slovak Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization. It provides comprehensive information on funding calls, project partner databases, training seminars, and relevant documentation for stakeholders in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The site targets government entities, regional authorities, and project partners involved in EU-funded cross-border initiatives. The business model is government program administration and information dissemination, positioning itself as a trusted source for regional cooperation information. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including Google Analytics via MonsterInsights, Contact Form 7, and cookie consent management plugins. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a moderate performance profile. The use of official Slovak government design elements and consistent branding enhances user trust and professionalism. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, security headers are not explicitly observed and could be improved. The absence of a security.txt or explicit incident response contact suggests room for enhancement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong legitimacy indicators despite the lack of publicly available WHOIS data due to EURid privacy policies. The site is well-maintained, compliant with privacy regulations, and serves its government program function effectively. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing incident response transparency to further strengthen security posture and 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.

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 Interreg SK-CZ program website occupies a niche government sector focused on EU cross-border cooperation between Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing by the Slovak Ministry and comprehensive resource provision for project partners. The business model is informational and administrative, with no direct revenue streams but significant public sector funding influence. Target customers include regional authorities, NGOs, and public institutions engaged in cross-border projects. Growth indicators include active updates on calls, seminars, and documentation. The partnership ecosystem includes related subdomains and social media channels, supporting outreach and engagement. Strategic observations highlight a stable government operation with potential for digital modernization and enhanced security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found, and the use of reputable WordPress plugins suggests regular maintenance. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate gaps in comprehensive security governance. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files, which are best practices for transparency and rapid response. Overall, the site is secure for its informational purpose but could benefit from formalizing security policies and enhancing technical defenses to mitigate emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and establish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and incident management.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses, to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to suspicious activities promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress 6.8.3 platform using a combination of well-known plugins for analytics, contact forms, cookie management, event calendars, and membership management. The theme 'idsk-template' aligns with Slovak government design standards, ensuring consistent branding and accessibility. The site loads moderate resources and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented, with proper meta tags, ARIA labels, and responsive design. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized security policies to reduce technical risk and improve resilience.
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.
