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

AMSBus.cz is an established Czech online platform specializing in the sale and reservation of bus tickets. Operated by ČSAD SVT Praha, s.r.o., the website targets general public users seeking convenient e-ticketing solutions for bus travel within the Czech Republic and surrounding regions. The business model focuses on providing a user-friendly interface for searching, purchasing, and managing bus tickets, supported by partnerships with transportation offices and portals. The domain age since 2001 supports a mature market presence. Technically, the website is built on a custom ASP.NET platform utilizing legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.4.1, with integrations for Google Analytics and Gemius Audience for user tracking and marketing. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization, with room for modernization and improved accessibility. External links to trusted partners and payment providers enhance the ecosystem. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates partial compliance with modern security and privacy standards. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency. Overall, AMSBus.cz presents a functional and moderately secure platform with a solid business foundation. Strategic improvements in updating technology, enhancing privacy compliance, and publishing security policies would strengthen trust and reduce risk exposure.

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.

Priority findings

10 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"

    • 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

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

AMSBus.cz holds a stable position in the Czech transportation sector as a key online ticketing service for bus travel. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence and integration with local transportation offices and portals. The business model is transactional, generating revenue through ticket sales and reservations. The target customers are primarily Czech and Slovak travelers seeking convenient e-ticket solutions. Partnerships with payment processors like PayU and advertising via Google DoubleClick support monetization and marketing efforts. Growth opportunities exist in expanding mobile usability and enhancing digital marketing. The company operates under the legal entity ČSAD SVT Praha, s.r.o., which reinforces credibility.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leaks are evident in the HTML. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.4.1) is a notable vulnerability that could be exploited. The lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security or incident response policies limit transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the site requires modernization of its tech stack and enhanced privacy/security controls to improve resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a clear cookie consent banner and privacy policy updates to ensure GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and broaden market reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom ASP.NET framework with static resources served via .ashx handlers. It uses legacy jQuery 1.4.1 and several JavaScript plugins for UI features like autocomplete and calendar widgets. Tracking is implemented via Google Analytics and Gemius Audience scripts. Payment options include PayU and major credit cards, indicated by logos. The site is hosted likely by Active24, the registrar, with DNS servers at websupport.cz and websupport.eu. Performance is moderate with some asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is basic, with a separate mobile version link provided. SEO is basic with meta keywords and titles but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but include keyboard access keys and tooltips.
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.
