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

Slovenská rektorská konferencia is a well-established Slovak non-profit organization representing universities and higher education institutions. The website serves as an authoritative platform for disseminating news, events, projects, and official documents related to higher education in Slovakia. It targets academic staff, students, and education policymakers, positioning itself as a national leader in the education sector. The organization was founded in 2003, consistent with the domain registration date, and maintains a professional online presence with clear branding and trust signals. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern frameworks such as Gantry5 and Bootstrap 5, utilizing jQuery and Font Awesome for UI enhancements. It employs HTTPS with DNSSEC enabled, ensuring secure communications and domain integrity. The site features a cookie consent mechanism with detailed categories, supporting GDPR compliance. Login functionality includes WebAuthn support for passwordless authentication, indicating a focus on modern security practices. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, DNSSEC, and cookie consent. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced HTTP security headers like CSP. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. Google Analytics is used with IP anonymization, balancing analytics needs with privacy. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its educational and institutional audience effectively. Strategic improvements could include publishing security policies, adding a security.txt file, and enhancing HTTP security headers to further strengthen its 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

7 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

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 Slovenská rektorská konferencia operates as a key non-profit entity within Slovakia's higher education ecosystem. It holds a strong market position as a national representative body for universities, providing advocacy, information dissemination, and coordination of academic projects. The organization benefits from partnerships with governmental and educational institutions, as evidenced by linked domains and references. Its business model focuses on service and representation rather than commercial revenue streams. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence aimed at academic professionals and stakeholders, supporting transparency and engagement through news, events, and official documentation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS and DNSSEC are properly implemented, ensuring secure and trustworthy connections. The presence of a cookie consent banner with granular controls aligns with GDPR requirements. The login form supports WebAuthn, enhancing authentication security. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and security.txt file represents gaps in transparency and vulnerability management. Additionally, the lack of advanced HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Promote security awareness and trust by highlighting security features and compliance certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust Joomla CMS platform, leveraging Gantry5 and Bootstrap 5 frameworks for responsive and modular design. It uses jQuery and Font Awesome for interactive and visual elements. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported through proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, providing GDPR-compliant user controls. The login system integrates WebAuthn for modern authentication. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but DNSSEC and HTTPS indicate a secure hosting environment. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance further by optimizing scripts and enhancing security headers.
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.
