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

Občina Šmarješke Toplice operates as the official municipal government portal for the Šmarješke Toplice municipality in Slovenia. The website provides a comprehensive range of e-government services including electronic applications, online payments, local news, event calendars, public tenders, and citizen notifications. It targets local residents and stakeholders, facilitating digital interaction with municipal authorities. The business model is focused on public service delivery and community engagement, positioning itself as a trusted local government resource. The domain has been active since 2007, reinforcing its established presence in the region. Technically, the website employs a modern yet straightforward technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and TinyMCE, running on a custom CMS tailored for Slovenian municipalities. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. Hosting is provided by HITROST.COM, a known Slovenian hosting provider. Structured data is implemented for organization details, enhancing search engine understanding. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes user alerts for legacy browsers, indicating some attention to user security. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive GDPR policy, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a notable gap. Overall, the website is a professional, trustworthy municipal portal with solid content and technical foundations. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response transparency would enhance its security posture and compliance. The risk level is low, with no critical issues identified, making it a reliable digital presence for the municipality.

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.

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"

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 website serves as a digital gateway for the Šmarješke Toplice municipality, providing essential public services and information to local citizens. Its market position is that of a local government authority portal, with competitive advantages including comprehensive e-government functionalities and integration with regional partner sites. Revenue streams are typical for government entities, primarily funded by public budgets rather than commercial activities. The target customer segment is local residents and businesses requiring municipal services. Growth indicators include active publication of news, tenders, and community engagement tools. The partnership ecosystem includes regional tourism, local action groups, and official Slovenian tourism sites, enhancing service breadth and community integration. Operationally, the website reflects a mature digital strategy aligned with public sector standards in Slovenia.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and legacy browser warnings are implemented, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are published, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Forms appear to be standard with dynamic return URLs, but no explicit anti-CSRF or advanced input validation details are visible. GDPR compliance is evident through a dedicated privacy policy. Overall, the site is secure for typical municipal use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans, especially for third-party libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap.
  5. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform designed for Slovenian municipalities, leveraging jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend interactivity and responsiveness. TinyMCE is used for rich text editing capabilities. The site includes structured data in JSON-LD format for organization details, improving SEO and search engine understanding. Hosting is managed by HITROST.COM, a local Slovenian hosting provider, which aligns with the domain registration data. Performance is moderate, likely due to the use of multiple scripts and image-heavy content such as photo galleries and news images. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, supporting inclusive design. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical links. There is room for modernization by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and optimizing asset delivery for faster load times.
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.
