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

    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

  2. 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"

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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 dominant position in the Slovak higher education sector, leveraging its historical legacy and broad academic portfolio. Its business model centers on education and research services, targeting students, researchers, and academic collaborators. The institution benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including European university networks and research consortia. Revenue streams likely include tuition, research grants, and public funding. The website's content and linked domains indicate active participation in international academic events and programs, enhancing its competitive advantage and growth potential.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent tools, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the use of an older TYPO3 CMS version and jQuery 1.10.1 may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly patched. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the security posture is moderate to good but could be enhanced by modernizing the tech stack and publishing comprehensive security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Update TYPO3 CMS and jQuery to latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Continue maintaining and enhancing privacy compliance and cookie consent transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS 4.7, a mature but older content management system, supplemented by Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. JavaScript libraries include jQuery 1.10.1 and Slick Carousel for UI components. Cookie consent is managed by Klaro. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Accessibility features are present, and mobile optimization is good. Technical debt is evident in the use of outdated libraries, which should be addressed to reduce security risks and improve maintainability.
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.
