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

Zelený vzdelávací fond (ZVF) is a Slovak government-affiliated environmental education fund established in 2017 under the Slovak Environmental Agency (SAŽP). It focuses on supporting environmental education and awareness activities related to waste management, climate change, and biodiversity protection. The fund is financed by the Environmental Fund and donor resources, targeting children, youth, the general public, and educators within Slovakia. The website provides structured information about grants, supported projects, and final reports, reflecting a niche but important role in Slovakia's environmental policy landscape. Technically, the website uses modern frameworks such as Bootstrap 5 and Highcharts for data visualization, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site is moderately optimized for performance and accessibility, with clear navigation and professional design. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are evident, and some SEO and accessibility improvements could be made. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. The presence of a suspicious external domain embedded as a 1x1 pixel image is a minor concern that should be investigated. Privacy compliance is basic, with privacy and cookie policies present but no active consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, serving a government/non-profit function with clear contact information and consistent branding. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent mechanisms, removing suspicious external links, and adding incident response information to improve security posture and compliance.

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"

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

ZVF operates as a government-funded environmental education grant program under the Slovak Environmental Agency. Its market position is specialized within Slovakia's environmental sector, focusing on educational outreach and grant distribution. The business model relies on public funding and donor contributions, with a clear target audience of educators, youth, and the public interested in environmental issues. Growth indicators include increasing project applications and funding amounts over recent years. The partnership ecosystem includes the Ministry of Environment, Environmental Fund, and SAŽP. The website content and structure support transparency and stakeholder engagement, though digital marketing and analytics usage appear minimal.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No forms on the homepage limit attack surface, but lack of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies indicates gaps in security governance. The suspicious embedded external domain suggests a potential risk vector that should be remediated. GDPR compliance is basic but present, with privacy and cookie policies available. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Remove or investigate the suspicious external domain (zahranicnecasino.com) embedded as a 1x1 pixel image to prevent potential security risks.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 5.2.3 for responsive design and Highcharts for interactive data visualization, indicating a modern front-end technology stack. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta viewport tags for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with CDN usage for Bootstrap and Highcharts scripts. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. The site lacks advanced SEO metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are basic but present. The suspicious external domain embedded as a 1x1 pixel image is an anomaly that may indicate a security or content integrity issue. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO, security headers, and analytics integration.
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.
