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

Slov-Lex is the official electronic legal information system operated by the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic. It provides comprehensive access to Slovak legal regulations, EU law, court decisions, and a legislative thesaurus, serving legal professionals, government officials, and the general public. The website is positioned as the primary authoritative source for legal information in Slovakia. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including React and Font Awesome, with Google Tag Manager integrated for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and demonstrates good performance and accessibility standards, although some improvements in accessibility and SEO could be made. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and sandboxed iframes for login processes. However, explicit security headers and published security policies are absent, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie information available but no active consent mechanism. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with strong business credibility due to its government affiliation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, implementing cookie consent mechanisms, and adding vulnerability disclosure channels to improve transparency and security posture.

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

8 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"

      • 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';…

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

Slov-Lex operates as a government essential service providing legal information to a broad audience including legal professionals and the public. Its competitive advantage lies in being the official source of Slovak legal data, ensuring authoritative and up-to-date content. The business model is non-commercial, funded and managed by the Ministry of Justice. The portal supports transparency and legal compliance in Slovakia, with potential growth in digital services integration. Partnerships with other government domains like idsk.gov.sk and justice.gov.sk reinforce its ecosystem. The service is critical for legal compliance and public administration in Slovakia.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of sandboxed iframes for login enhances security. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response procedures indicate gaps in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. GDPR compliance is basic with cookie information but no explicit consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government portal but could be improved with formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid potential vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (likely React) with chunked CSS and JS files indicating modular and maintainable code. Font Awesome 6 is used for icons, and Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics. The site is mobile responsive and uses semantic HTML elements for structure. Performance is moderate with some loading indicators visible. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or government-developed platform. Hosting details are not explicit but likely government infrastructure. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. SEO meta tags are minimal but present. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO optimizations.
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.
