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

SOLEN, s. r. o. is a Slovak company specializing in professional healthcare events, medical journals, and books. The website serves healthcare professionals by providing access to specialized medical publications and organizing relevant medical congresses and events. The company appears to hold a solid position in the Slovak healthcare publishing market with a focused business model on education and professional development. The website content is well-structured, professionally presented, and targeted primarily at medical practitioners and healthcare professionals in Slovakia. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Owl Carousel, with additional tools for form validation and cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS with CSRF protection, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Google Analytics and Cookiebot are used for analytics and privacy compliance, respectively, reflecting adherence to GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement, CSRF tokens, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. However, some standard security headers are missing, and there is no public incident response or security policy documentation. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong privacy compliance and a professional online presence. Strategic improvements could include adding security headers, publishing incident response policies, and enhancing accessibility features to further strengthen security and compliance 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

SOLEN operates in the healthcare publishing and event organization sector, targeting healthcare professionals in Slovakia. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized medical journals and professional congresses, supported by a partner platform mudr.online for educational content. The business model is subscription and event-based revenue streams. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with consistent branding and a clear focus on the Slovak market. Growth indicators include regular publication updates and event announcements. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains like mudr.online, enhancing content delivery and user engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS, CSRF protection, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of some security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy) and lack of public incident response documentation indicate room for improvement. The site does not publish a security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with best practices and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Bootstrap 3 and 4, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Owl Carousel for UI and interactivity. Parsley.js is used for client-side form validation, and Cookiebot manages cookie consent. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. The presence of CSRF tokens indicates attention to form security. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured content.
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.
