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

TIPOS, národná lotériová spoločnosť, a. s. is the official national lottery company of Slovakia, offering a variety of lottery games, online casino services, and scratch cards. The website targets Slovak residents interested in legal gambling and lottery participation, providing both physical and online access to their services. The company holds a strong market position as the national lottery operator, with consistent branding and a professional online presence. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Leaflet.js for mapping, Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and basic accessibility features. However, some security headers are missing, and no explicit CMS or hosting provider information is evident. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Analytics usage is extensive, involving Google Analytics and Gemius, with user tracking at an extensive level. Privacy compliance is basic, with no visible privacy policy or terms of service in the provided content. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, with a solid business foundation and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policy publication, and incident response readiness would enhance the security posture and compliance standing of the site.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 20 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

TIPOS operates as a government entity managing national lottery services in Slovakia. Its business model revolves around lottery ticket sales, online gambling, and related gaming services. The company benefits from a monopoly or dominant market position in the Slovak lottery sector. Revenue streams likely include lottery ticket sales, online casino gaming, and advertising partnerships. The target customer segment is Slovak residents interested in gambling and lottery games. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem with related domains such as etipos.sk and its subdomains, which provide specialized services like online casino and lottery management. Growth indicators include digital transformation with online services and integration of modern analytics and marketing tools. Strategic observations suggest a focus on compliance with EU regulations, though some compliance documentation is not publicly visible.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, demonstrating compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and incident readiness. Data protection practices appear basic, with extensive user tracking via Google Analytics and Gemius, but no detailed data retention or privacy policy information is available. The security culture could be improved by publishing clear policies and providing dedicated security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents prominently on the website to enhance transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and dedicated security contact email (e.g., security@domain) to improve incident handling and trust.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure secure integrations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Leaflet.js for interactive maps, and Select2 for enhanced select elements. Google Tag Manager is used for managing analytics and marketing tags, while Cookiebot handles cookie consent and compliance. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses DFlip for digital flipbook functionality. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design for mobile devices. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential over-reliance on third-party scripts for tracking and marketing. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and SEO further by enhancing ARIA roles and metadata.
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.
