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.

Priority findings

10 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

      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

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

Teraz.sk holds a strong market position as the official Slovak press agency's news portal, benefiting from governmental backing and authoritative content. Its competitive advantage lies in exclusive access to official news and comprehensive coverage across multiple sectors. The business model relies on content syndication, advertising revenue, and partnerships with sister sites. Target customers include the general Slovak public, media professionals, and institutions requiring reliable news feeds. Growth indicators include active social media presence and diversified content formats such as live video broadcasts. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple related domains under TASR's umbrella, enhancing reach and content variety. Operationally, the portal demonstrates maturity with a stable technical infrastructure and compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The security maturity of Teraz.sk is solid, with mandatory HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant consent mechanism in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party scripts is managed with asynchronous loading and consent, reducing risk exposure. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly found, which is common for media portals but could be enhanced for transparency. Overall, the site demonstrates good security hygiene appropriate for a government-affiliated news portal, with recommendations to strengthen header policies and accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers to mitigate clickjacking and content injection risks.
  2. Publish a public security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to avoid vulnerabilities from external dependencies.
  4. Improve website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and broaden audience reach.
  5. Maintain and update GDPR compliance mechanisms, including clear data retention policies and user rights disclosures.

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.
