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

AI Awards is a Czech Republic-based organization that hosts the only professional awards in the field of artificial intelligence in the country. The website showcases the 2025 edition of the awards, highlighting winners, finalists, jury members, and partners. The organization targets professionals, companies, academia, public administration, and non-profits involved in AI development and application in the Czech Republic. The site is well-branded and supported by prominent partners including government bodies and media outlets. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, delivering a fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience. Security posture is good with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers and privacy policies are missing. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust from a domain registration perspective but the website content and partner ecosystem strongly indicate legitimacy.

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

13 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 AI Awards website positions itself as a key player in the Czech AI ecosystem by recognizing excellence across multiple categories such as social impact, education, research, public administration, business, and long-term contributions. The business model revolves around organizing and promoting these awards, supported by partnerships with government, industry, and media. The presence of detailed jury profiles and winner descriptions adds credibility and transparency. The website also leverages Google Analytics for user insights and Yoast SEO for search optimization. The target audience includes AI professionals, companies, researchers, and public sector entities in the Czech Republic. The partnership network is strong, involving notable organizations and media, which supports growth and visibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics scripts securely. No forms collecting sensitive data are present, reducing attack surface. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No privacy or cookie policies are published, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. WHOIS data is missing, which may indicate privacy protection or domain registration issues. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers, privacy notices, and incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add an incident response or security policy page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Monitor WHOIS data availability and ensure domain registration details are accurate and publicly accessible if possible.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with the Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring strong SEO capabilities. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for sliders and Twemoji for emoji rendering. Google Analytics is integrated via gtag.js for user tracking. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and loads quickly with preloaded CSS and JavaScript modules. The HTML is valid and structured with JSON-LD for rich snippets and Open Graph meta tags for social sharing. No broken links or errors were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience.
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.
