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

The website www.sk-cz.eu serves as the official portal for the Interreg Slovakia-Czech Republic cross-border cooperation program for 2021-2027, managed by the Slovak Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization. It provides comprehensive information on funding calls, project implementation manuals, monitoring committees, and other resources for applicants and stakeholders in both Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The site targets government officials, regional partners, and project applicants, offering a centralized platform for program management and communication. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a suite of plugins including MonsterInsights for analytics, Contact Form 7 for contact forms, and Cookie Law Info for privacy compliance. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Performance is moderate with good accessibility and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners to manage user privacy. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML source, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are publicly visible. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to EURid privacy policies, but the domain and website content strongly indicate legitimacy as a government-operated portal. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security posture and compliance with privacy regulations, with recommendations to enhance security headers and incident response visibility. The risk level is low, and the site is trustworthy for its intended audience.

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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

    • 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
  • 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 strong position as an official government platform facilitating cross-border cooperation between Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its authoritative content, official branding, and comprehensive resources for project applicants and partners. The business model is informational and service-oriented, focusing on public sector program management rather than commercial revenue. The target customer segments include government agencies, regional authorities, NGOs, and project stakeholders. Growth indicators include active calls for proposals and ongoing updates. The partnership ecosystem includes Slovak and Czech ministries and regional bodies. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining up-to-date content, enhancing digital security, and expanding user engagement through newsletters and consultations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a robust cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. The lack of a public security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency in incident response readiness. Overall, the site appears secure for its informational purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and clearer incident response communication to strengthen trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to minimize risks from outdated components.
  4. Enhance visibility of security and privacy policies, including incident response procedures, to build user trust.
  5. Conduct periodic security assessments and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern tech stack including jQuery and several well-known plugins for analytics, contact management, and content downloads. The theme 'idsk-template' aligns with Slovak government design standards, ensuring consistent branding and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and responsive design for mobile devices. The site uses Google Analytics via MonsterInsights for user tracking, balanced with GDPR-compliant cookie consent. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and limited WHOIS data transparency are areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, which could be clarified for operational transparency.
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.
