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

Agora CE is a Czech non-governmental and non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening democratic principles and enhancing citizen participation in public affairs. Established nearly fifteen years ago by Dutch partners, it focuses on improving communication between citizens and local governments through educational and participatory projects. The organization offers services such as Student Agora, participation projects, international collaborations, study tours, conferences, seminars, and public debates. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting citizens interested in democratic engagement within the Czech Republic. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins including Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7 with Google reCAPTCHA, and Complianz GDPR for privacy compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and moderate performance. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and spam protection on forms, though additional security headers could enhance the posture further. The security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear cookie consent mechanisms and comprehensive privacy policies. However, WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces transparency but is understandable for a non-profit entity. Overall, Agora CE presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a clear mission and adequate technical and security implementations. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security headers, accessibility, and adding explicit security policies or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

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

    • 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

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

Agora CE operates as a small-sized non-profit entity in the civic engagement and education sector within the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence and focus on democratic participation projects, supported by international partnerships. The business model revolves around educational and participatory services aimed at citizens and local governments, likely funded through grants and partnerships. The organization maintains an active social media presence and uses modern digital tools to engage its audience. Growth indicators include diversified project offerings and consistent website updates. The partnership with eStation.cz for website development indicates a professional support ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting the contact form against spam. The use of the Complianz GDPR plugin indicates attention to privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, which could enhance readiness and transparency. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for a non-profit organization but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and privacy impact assessments to ensure ongoing compliance and risk management.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Contact Form 7 with Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and Complianz GDPR plugin for cookie and privacy compliance. It uses WPBakery Page Builder for layout management and integrates third-party libraries such as jQuery, Flickity, Magnific Popup, and Select2. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility. The site loads external resources from trusted domains like Google Fonts and Hotjar for analytics. There is no indication of hosting provider from the data. The technical implementation is solid but could be improved by adding advanced security headers and optimizing accessibility.
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.
