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

  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

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

SPNZ operates as a non-profit industry association with a medium-sized footprint in Slovakia's energy sector. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing history, international affiliations, and comprehensive services including publishing and event organization. The business model focuses on membership services and industry advocacy. The target customers are energy companies, professionals, and students in related fields. The partnership ecosystem includes major Slovak gas and oil companies and international organizations. The website reflects a stable and professional operation with clear growth indicators through active content and event promotion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login forms, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected and should be implemented to enhance protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are absent, which could be improved to strengthen security culture and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from additional security hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend enhancements. The presence of the Modern Events Calendar plugin indicates event management functionality. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are properly implemented. No major technical debt or obsolete technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS and standard WordPress infrastructure.
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.
