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

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

SZTFH holds a key position as a national regulatory authority in Hungary, overseeing critical sectors such as gambling, tobacco, insolvency, cybersecurity, mining, and ESG. Its business model is regulatory and service-oriented, focusing on compliance enforcement, certification, and public information dissemination. The authority targets regulated businesses, governmental bodies, and citizens requiring regulatory guidance. The website reflects a medium-sized governmental entity with a clear mandate and recent establishment in 2023. Partnerships with international bodies like FATF, UN Security Council, and EU institutions are indicated through external links, enhancing its regulatory credibility. The site’s content and structure support transparency and accessibility, important for public trust and regulatory effectiveness.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and email addresses protected via encoding to prevent harvesting. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which are recommended for enhanced security governance. Overall, the security maturity is good for a governmental site but could be strengthened with additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and usability.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform (version 6.8.1) using the Porto theme and WPBakery Page Builder, indicating a flexible and widely supported CMS infrastructure. It employs jQuery and several plugins for multilingual support (WPML), GDPR cookie compliance, and email obfuscation, reflecting attention to privacy and internationalization. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses optimized images including WebP format for performance. While performance is moderate, the site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly detected. Technical debt appears low, but security header enhancements and performance optimizations could be pursued to improve resilience and user experience.
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.
