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

Asociace Public Relations, z. s. (APRA) is a well-established Czech non-profit association dedicated to the public relations industry. Founded in 1997, it provides certification, education, membership services, and organizes industry awards such as the Czech PR Award (Lemur). The website targets PR professionals, agencies, media, and clients seeking PR services, positioning itself as a key industry player in the Czech Republic. The business model revolves around membership fees, training programs, and event organization. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, integrating modern analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and professional design, though it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance gap. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but missing security headers and no visible vulnerability disclosure policy. Overall, the domain age and WHOIS data confirm legitimacy and trustworthiness. Strategic improvements include enhancing privacy compliance, adding security headers, and publishing incident response information.

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

9 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

APRA holds a strong market position as a leading PR association in the Czech Republic with over 25 years of history. Its competitive advantage lies in its certification programs, educational offerings, and prestigious PR awards that attract industry professionals. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event registrations, and training fees. The target customer segments include PR agencies, corporate communication professionals, media representatives, and clients seeking PR expertise. The partnership ecosystem includes media partners, event organizers, and industry stakeholders, enhancing its influence and reach. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization focused on professional development and industry standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, which limits transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts without explicit consent mechanisms raises privacy compliance concerns under GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit association but could be improved to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including official emails and phone numbers for better trust and communication.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.9.26 using the Divi theme, which is a popular and flexible CMS platform. It integrates several third-party analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Seznam Retargeting scripts, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The site uses jQuery and jQuery UI libraries and loads resources asynchronously to optimize performance. Hosting appears to be with Active24, a known Czech hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices with meta tags and structured navigation. However, the WordPress version is outdated, which may pose security risks. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and modern HTML5 standards compliance.
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.
