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

Active Citizens Fund is a Czech non-profit grant program focused on strengthening civil society, promoting openness, tolerance, and citizen participation in public policy. The website positions itself as a supporter of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, advocating for human rights and equality. The program is funded through EEA and Norway Grants and operates with a consortium of partners. The website is professionally designed, primarily in Czech with English alternatives, and provides comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, reflecting good GDPR compliance. However, direct contact information such as emails or phone numbers is not explicitly provided, relying mainly on a newsletter subscription form for engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins and libraries, including jQuery and Google Tag Manager, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though additional security headers and explicit security policies could enhance trust. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, reducing domain trustworthiness despite the legitimate appearance and content of the site. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid digital presence for a non-profit organization but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and contact details.

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 Active Citizens Fund operates in the non-profit sector, targeting civil society organizations and vulnerable groups in the Czech Republic. Its business model revolves around grant funding and advocacy, supported by international funding sources such as the EEA and Norway Grants. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a consistent brand and a clear mission. The partnership with organizations like OSF Czech Republic strengthens its market position. The site’s content and navigation cater well to its audience, providing thematic areas and project information. Growth indicators include active social media channels and ongoing project updates. Strategic observations suggest the organization maintains a focused approach on social impact, with potential to expand transparency and direct communication channels to enhance stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, which could be a concern for transparency and readiness. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits external reporting capabilities. Overall, the site is secure for general users but could improve in formalizing security governance and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Provide clear and direct contact information including official emails and phone numbers for better user engagement.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to strengthen domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a modern and maintainable tech stack. The presence of the Complianz GDPR plugin shows attention to privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts and includes a manifest for progressive web app capabilities. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers for a more robust infrastructure.
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.
