TÜV SÜD Slovakia operates as a trusted partner providing quality, safety, and sustainability services, including testing, certification, auditing, and consulting. With over 150 years of experience, the company holds a strong market position in Slovakia and internationally, supported by a professional and comprehensive website that targets businesses requiring compliance and certification services. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses modern technologies such as Sitecore CMS, Google Tag Manager, and Adobe Tag Manager, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly disclosed.

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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

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 leverages its long-standing reputation and certifications like ISO 27001 to maintain competitive advantages in the certification and consulting market. Its business model focuses on service delivery across multiple sectors including energy, transport, manufacturing, real estate, and technology. The multilingual website and extensive service offerings indicate a broad target customer base and international reach. Marketing and analytics tools are employed effectively to track user engagement and ensure compliance with privacy regulations. Strategic partnerships and social media presence enhance brand visibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent management via OneTrust, indicating adherence to privacy and security best practices. However, the lack of explicit security headers in the HTML and absence of a public security policy or incident response page suggest areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency but does not directly impact the website's operational security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  2. Create and publicly disclose a security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer to strengthen GDPR compliance visibility.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitecore CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and tag management systems like Google Tag Manager and Adobe Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses slick carousel for interactive content presentation and integrates OneTrust for cookie consent management. While the technical implementation is robust, opportunities exist to improve security header deployment and enhance domain registration transparency. The website's SEO and metadata are well-structured, supporting good search engine visibility.
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.
