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

6 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

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

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 university holds a stable position as a regional educational institution in Slovakia, targeting students, researchers, and academic staff. Its business model revolves around public funding and educational services, with key revenue streams likely from tuition, grants, and research funding. The presence of multiple academic faculties and research centers indicates a diversified academic offering. Partnerships with local government and other educational institutions strengthen its ecosystem. The website's content and structure support transparency and accessibility, which are critical for public trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate to good, with HTTPS enforced and privacy policies in place. The use of cookie consent banners and email cloaking indicates awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be a gap in readiness for security incidents. The Joomla CMS platform requires regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Ensure Joomla CMS and all plugins are regularly updated to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Maintain and regularly review privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, and Mootools libraries, indicating a mature but somewhat traditional tech stack. The site loads moderate media content and uses Google Web Fonts for typography. The presence of cookie consent scripts and email cloaking scripts shows attention to privacy and spam prevention. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and mobile responsiveness. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks advanced modern frameworks but remains functional and user-friendly. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.
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.
