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

Výskumný ústav geodézie a kartografie v Bratislave is a Slovak government research institute specializing in geodesy, cartography, and cadastral data services. The website serves as an official portal providing access to various cadastral and geodetic services, including electronic portals and data provision. The target audience includes government entities, professionals in geodesy, and the general public seeking cadastral information. The business model is focused on government research and public service provision, positioning the institute as an authoritative source in its sector. Technically, the website uses a custom CMS (WebJET) with common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good accessibility and basic SEO practices. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, reflecting awareness of GDPR requirements, although no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The absence of privacy and terms policies represents a compliance gap.

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

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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

      • CWE-319

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 institute holds a strong market position as a government entity responsible for geodetic and cadastral data in Slovakia. Its competitive advantage lies in official status and integration with national cadastral systems. Revenue streams are likely government funding and service contracts. The target customers are government agencies, surveyors, and the public. Growth indicators include recent updates and active service portals. The partnership ecosystem includes related cadastral and geodesy portals. Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital service delivery and data provision, with opportunities to enhance compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating baseline compliance with privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers (CSP, HSTS), absence of published security policies, and no visible incident response contacts indicate gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not appear to use vulnerable libraries. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts or pages.
  5. Enhance SEO metadata and accessibility features for better user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS (WebJET) and uses standard JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, Modernizr, and Slick Carousel. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for viewport and charset. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with skip links and ARIA attributes. Performance is moderate with combined CSS and JS files. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The site uses HTTPS as indicated by canonical URLs. There is room for technical modernization by adding security headers, improving SEO metadata, and enhancing privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
