Risk levelHigh

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

The Visegrad Group website serves as the official portal for the cooperation of four Central European countries: Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. It provides information about the group's history, objectives, and cultural cooperation, targeting government officials, researchers, and the general public interested in regional European integration. The site is positioned as a governmental/non-profit entity focused on fostering collaboration within the EU framework. Technically, the site uses a legacy CMS (Webra 3.0) and older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.9.1 and Scriptaculous, combined with Bootstrap 3 for styling. While the design is professional and navigation clear, the technical stack is somewhat outdated, which may pose security risks. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but no visible security headers or advanced protections detected. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Contact is provided only via a form, with no direct emails or phone numbers publicly listed. Overall, the domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for EU domains, and no suspicious patterns were found. The website is safe, trustworthy, and suitable for general audiences.

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

11 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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 Visegrad Group operates as an intergovernmental cooperation platform among four Central European countries, focusing on cultural, educational, and political collaboration within the EU context. Its business model is non-commercial, emphasizing information dissemination and regional integration support. The website reflects a medium-sized entity with a stable market position in governmental and non-profit sectors. Partnerships with official tourism and government sites of member countries strengthen its ecosystem. The absence of direct contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and compliance. The site’s content and branding are consistent, reinforcing its credibility and authority in the regional cooperation domain.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) are visible in the HTML content. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.9.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The contact form is the only data collection point, with no visible anti-spam or advanced input validation mechanisms. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires modernization and enhanced compliance measures to reduce risk and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries and dependencies to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including security contact channels.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webra 3.0 CMS platform, utilizing Bootstrap 3 for responsive design and jQuery 1.9.1 along with Scriptaculous for client-side scripting. The technology stack is dated, which may impact security and performance. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets, including lightgallery for image galleries. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags found. Accessibility features are minimal, and mobile optimization is basic but functional. The hosting provider and server details are not disclosed in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
