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

Slovenský ochranný zväz autorský (SOZA) is a Slovak collective rights management organization dedicated to protecting and managing the rights of music authors. Established in 2003, SOZA serves a broad audience including authors, publishers, and users of music, providing licensing, rights management, and support services. The organization maintains a strong national presence with international partnerships and agreements, positioning itself as a key player in the Slovak music rights ecosystem. Technically, the website employs a moderate technology stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, and Hotjar for user analytics and behavior tracking. The site is hosted on exohosting servers and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The website is fully accessible without any blocking or WAF challenges, and it uses HTTPS with no visible SSL issues, indicating a secure connection. From a security perspective, the site implements cookie consent mechanisms and uses HTTPS, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is evident through cookie policies and GDPR-aligned consent banners, though a dedicated privacy policy page is not clearly identified. Business credibility is strong with clear contact information, social media presence, and long domain age. Overall, SOZA's website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its target audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and incident response readiness would enhance trust and security posture further.

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

    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

      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

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

SOZA operates in the media sector as a collective rights management entity, focusing on music authors and publishers in Slovakia. Its business model revolves around licensing and rights administration, generating revenue through royalties and licensing fees. The organization targets authors, publishers, and music users, including event organizers and broadcasters. SOZA's market position is strong nationally with international collaborations, supported by partnerships with recognized organizations such as BIEM and CISAC. The website content and partner ecosystem reflect a mature and stable operation with consistent branding and professional communication. Growth indicators include active news updates, events, and engagement with the music community. The partnership ecosystem enhances credibility and operational reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates gaps in formal security governance and transparency. The use of third-party analytics and tracking tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar introduces moderate user tracking but is managed with consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels to improve security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack with jQuery and jQuery UI for UI components, Slick Carousel for sliders, and Google Fonts for typography. Analytics and user behavior tracking are handled by Google Analytics and Hotjar. The hosting is provided by exohosting, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack by adopting more current frameworks and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
