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

Školské.sk is an educational and news portal operated under the Slovak News Agency (TASR), targeting students, schools, and young aspiring journalists. The portal provides news articles, educational content, photos, and videos, positioning itself as a niche media outlet within the Slovak education and media sectors. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding aligned with TASR, offering a good user experience and relevant content for its audience. Technically, the site uses a moderate technology stack including Bootstrap and jQuery, with hosting and DNS managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, though improvements are recommended in security headers and updating legacy libraries. Privacy compliance is partially met with a privacy policy linked to TASR's main site, but lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data are consistent and trustworthy, supporting the legitimacy of the portal.

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

    • 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 operates as a media content provider focused on educational news and resources for Slovak students and schools, leveraging the reputation and infrastructure of TASR. Its business model revolves around content publishing and educational engagement, supported by grant programs and partnerships with other TASR-related sites. The site benefits from a strong brand association with TASR, enhancing trust and market position. Revenue streams likely include advertising via AdOcean and possibly sponsored content. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple TASR-affiliated domains, reinforcing its media network. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with educational initiatives. The portal's operations reflect a medium-sized media entity with a clear focus on education and youth engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no obvious exposure of sensitive information. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.0) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly mitigated. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with Bootstrap 3.3.6 and jQuery 1.11.0, which are somewhat dated but still functional. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare, providing DNS and CDN services that improve performance and security. The site loads external scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical JavaScript, aiding performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements. However, the use of older libraries and lack of modern security headers indicate some technical debt. The CMS is a custom editorial system named Gepard, which may require ongoing maintenance to ensure security and feature parity with modern platforms. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
