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

Východoslovenské múzeum v Košiciach is a regional cultural institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing Eastern Slovakia's heritage through exhibitions, events, and educational programs. The museum targets a broad audience including local residents, tourists, and cultural enthusiasts. It operates as a government-funded non-profit entity with a medium organizational size and a stable market position in the Slovak cultural sector. The website reflects this mission with clear information about exhibitions, volunteer opportunities, and visitor information. Technically, the site is built on the Webnode CMS platform, hosted on AWS Cloudfront, and employs modern web technologies such as responsive design and cookie consent mechanisms. While the site is generally well-structured and user-friendly, it lacks advanced security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. The security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent but could be improved by implementing additional security best practices. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR at a basic level, making it a reliable digital presence for the museum.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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"

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 museum holds a significant cultural role in Eastern Slovakia, supported by the Košice self-governing region. Its business model is public and non-commercial, focusing on cultural preservation and education. The website supports this with detailed contact information, legal disclosures, and engagement channels such as newsletters and volunteer programs. The museum leverages social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to extend its reach. The absence of commercial e-commerce features aligns with its non-profit status. The institution's transparency is enhanced by links to official government portals for contracts and personal data information. The museum's digital presence is consistent with its public service mission, targeting local and international visitors interested in culture and history.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communication, and a cookie consent banner with advanced settings supports privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the HTML content analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with detailed user rights and data retention information.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to broaden audience reach and usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webnode CMS platform, leveraging AWS Cloudfront CDN for content delivery, which supports scalability and performance. The use of modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript ensures compatibility across devices with good mobile optimization. The site includes meta tags for SEO and Open Graph tags for social media sharing. Performance is moderate, with some CSS files loaded conditionally and deferred JavaScript for better load times. However, accessibility features are basic, and SEO could be improved with more comprehensive metadata and structured data. The technical infrastructure is stable but could be enhanced with additional frameworks or technologies to support advanced features or security.
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.
