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

The Slovak Compliance Circle is a Slovak non-profit association dedicated to promoting ethical business conduct and compliance standards within the Slovak business community. Established approximately 10 years ago, it serves as a platform for knowledge sharing, research, and collaboration among businesses, academic institutions, and compliance professionals. The organization is supported by reputable founding members including major corporations and law firms, positioning it as a trusted entity in the compliance domain. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern front-end libraries such as Swiper.js and jQuery, and incorporates GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and accessibility features, reflecting a mature digital presence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses spam protection on contact forms, and provides cookie consent aligned with GDPR. However, it lacks publicly available formal security policies and incident response contacts, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the website and organization present a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and compliance focus. Strategic improvements in security documentation and incident response readiness would further strengthen their 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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 Slovak Compliance Circle occupies a niche in the non-profit sector focused on compliance and business ethics in Slovakia. Its competitive advantage lies in its established network of reputable founding members and partnerships with academic institutions, enabling it to influence compliance standards and education effectively. The business model centers on community engagement, workshops, research, and advocacy rather than commercial revenue streams. The target customers include compliance officers, business leaders, students, and academics interested in ethical business practices. Growth indicators include active event hosting, research publications, and expanding membership. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving major corporations and educational bodies, which enhances its market presence and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement, GDPR-compliant cookie management, and anti-spam measures via Google reCAPTCHA. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of validated form inputs indicate good security hygiene. However, the lack of a published security policy and incident response information suggests gaps in transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but additional measures such as security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies are recommended. The security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized documentation and communication of security practices to stakeholders.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses Contact Form 7 for form management and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam prevention. The GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin ensures legal compliance with cookie usage. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in image loading and script management. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks are minimal but depend on maintaining plugin updates and monitoring for vulnerabilities. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and implement advanced security headers.
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.
