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

Správa mestskej zelene v Košiciach is a municipal organization responsible for the management, maintenance, and development of public and private greenery in Košice, Slovakia. Their services include plant nursery operations, maintenance of playgrounds, fountains, artworks, and monuments, as well as composting and rental of non-residential spaces. The organization operates with a public service mandate supplemented by commercial activities such as retail and wholesale of ornamental plants. The website reflects a medium-sized government entity with a local focus and a well-established presence since 2009. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem including Yoast SEO, Smart Slider 3, and Contact Form 7. The site is hosted by Websupport and employs DNSSEC and HTTPS for secure communications. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, typical for a content-rich municipal site. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and DNSSEC, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies or incident response information. There is no visible privacy policy or terms of service, which impacts compliance posture. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating some GDPR awareness. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the content or scripts. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its public service role effectively. However, improvements in privacy documentation, security policy transparency, and advanced security controls are recommended to enhance compliance 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

9 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

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 organization holds a stable position as a municipal service provider in Košice, Slovakia, focusing on greenery management and related services. Their business model combines public funding with commercial activities such as plant sales and space rentals. The website indicates active engagement with the community through social media and transparency portals. Partnerships with local initiatives like tree adoption and multimedia fountains suggest a collaborative ecosystem. The organization targets local residents, municipal stakeholders, and gardening enthusiasts. Growth indicators include diversified services and digital presence enhancements. The lack of detailed financial or corporate structure data limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and DNSSEC, which are strong foundational security measures. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, terms of service, security policy, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No advanced HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. The use of common WordPress plugins necessitates regular vulnerability assessments. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or malicious content was found. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to lack of published contacts. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal informational site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a security policy including incident response contacts to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Deploy advanced HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and core to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress 6.7.2 platform with a suite of well-known plugins for SEO, forms, sliders, and cookie management. Hosting is provided by Websupport, a reputable Slovak hosting provider, with DNSSEC enabled for domain security. The site uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts and integrates YouTube for video content. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible in asset loading and caching. Mobile responsiveness is good, and basic accessibility features are present. The site lacks advanced security headers and some privacy compliance features. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
