Školské.sk is an educational news portal operated by the official Slovak Press Agency TASR, targeting students and schools with journalistic and educational content. The website offers news articles, photographs, and videos aimed at young authors and future journalists. It holds a niche position in the Slovak media landscape as a trusted source for school-related news and educational materials. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted behind Cloudflare with HTTPS enforced, and integrates analytics and advertising services such as Google Analytics, Gemius, and AdOcean. The site is mobile optimized and presents content in a clear, professional manner. Security posture is good with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism. Privacy compliance is basic with a GDPR policy linked but no cookie banner. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business entity TASR, supporting legitimacy and trust. The site is safe for general audiences and does not contain adult or questionable content.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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 portal is a medium-sized media and education entity under TASR, Slovakia's official press agency. It leverages TASR's brand and infrastructure to provide specialized content for schools and students, supporting young journalists. The business model is content publishing with advertising revenue via AdOcean. The site links to multiple TASR-related partner domains, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent articles and active content updates. The portal benefits from TASR's reputation and government affiliation, enhancing trust and market position in the Slovak educational media sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare DNS, and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR. No vulnerable libraries or obvious security flaws were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising networks for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.6 and jQuery 1.11.0, which are somewhat dated but still functional. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing DNS and CDN services with HTTPS enforced. The site loads multiple external scripts for analytics and advertising, which may impact performance but are asynchronously loaded to mitigate delays. The CMS is Gepard, a custom editorial system. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags. There is room for modernization by updating libraries and improving accessibility compliance. No critical technical risks were identified that would impact business operations.
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.
