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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 company holds a strong market position as the primary water and sewage infrastructure owner in central Slovakia, with shareholders comprising local municipalities. Its business model focuses on infrastructure management, investment planning, and customer service related to water utilities. The presence of detailed annual reports and project listings indicates transparency and accountability. The partnership with Stredoslovenská vodárenská prevádzková spoločnosť, a.s. for operational matters strengthens its service delivery. The website targets municipal authorities, shareholders, and local residents, emphasizing public utility services rather than commercial sales. Growth indicators include ongoing investment projects and digital services such as online network verification. The company operates in a regulated environment, which supports its legitimacy and operational stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive information. Use of nonce attributes in Google Maps scripts indicates some attention to script security. However, the lack of common security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site does not appear to use vulnerable libraries based on the scripts observed, but regular audits are recommended. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, supporting compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public utility website but could be enhanced with additional headers and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Consider adding terms of service and more detailed privacy policy content to cover all regulatory requirements and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Font Awesome for icons, Owl Carousel for content sliders, and Revolution Slider for advanced visual effects. Google Maps API integration provides geolocation and contact visualization. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets locally, indicating self-hosting of core resources. Performance is moderate with potential optimization in script loading and caching. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive layouts and mobile-friendly navigation. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and performance tuning.
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.
