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

Štátna veterinárna a potravinová správa (ŠVPS) is the official Slovak government authority responsible for veterinary care oversight and food safety supervision. The website serves as the official online presence for the agency, providing information and resources related to its regulatory functions. The domain has been registered since 2003, reflecting a long-standing institutional presence. The website targets the general public and stakeholders involved in veterinary and food safety sectors within Slovakia. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and utilizes modern web technologies including jQuery, Leaflet for mapping, Font Awesome for icons, and caching and optimization plugins such as W3 Total Cache. It is hosted on servers associated with SWAN, a Slovak hosting provider, consistent with the domain's registration data. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes some security best practices through plugins. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager, indicating moderate user tracking. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with its government function. Key recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and providing clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officers to enhance compliance and trust.

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.

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

ŠVPS operates as a government regulatory body in Slovakia, focusing on veterinary and food safety oversight. Its market position is authoritative and essential within the public sector. The business model is non-commercial, centered on public service and regulatory enforcement. The website's content and metadata indicate a medium-sized government entity with a stable presence since 2003. The agency's key services include veterinary care supervision and ensuring food safety standards. There is no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies. The website's partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related or partner domains were identified. The site serves a broad audience including citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders in Slovakia's food and veterinary sectors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and SSL configured properly. Use of security and caching plugins suggests some attention to security and performance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. There is no visible incident response or security policy, nor contact channels for security issues. Privacy compliance is weak, lacking GDPR-related disclosures and cookie consent mechanisms. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, which involves moderate user tracking. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved with enhanced headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer with contact details.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern technology stack including jQuery 3.6.4, Leaflet for interactive maps, Font Awesome 6.7.2 for icons, and caching via W3 Total Cache. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Hosting is provided by SWAN, a Slovak hosting provider, consistent with the domain's registration. Performance is moderate with optimizations in place. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected in the provided 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.
