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

Asociace Public Relations, z. s. (APRA) is a well-established Czech non-profit association representing public relations agencies. Founded in 1997, it provides certification, education, ethical standards, and industry advocacy for PR professionals and clients in the Czech Republic. The website serves as an information hub with news, events, membership details, and resources for the PR community. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with the Divi theme and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. However, the WordPress and jQuery versions are outdated, posing potential security risks. The site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from technical and compliance improvements.

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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

APRA holds a strong market position as the primary association for PR agencies in the Czech Republic, leveraging long domain age and partnerships with media and industry organizations. Its business model focuses on membership services, certification, education, and event organization. The association targets PR professionals, agencies, clients seeking PR services, and media. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and event sponsorships. The partnership ecosystem includes media partners and research agencies, enhancing its industry influence. Growth indicators include active event programming and certification offerings. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and industry leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, the use of outdated WordPress (4.9.28) and jQuery (1.12.4) versions introduces vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no contact channels for security issues are visible. The lack of cookie consent and privacy policies further exposes compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires updates and policy implementations to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to the latest supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with a consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  4. Establish and communicate an incident response policy with dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.9.28 with the Divi theme, using jQuery 1.12.4 and various third-party scripts for analytics and marketing. The hosting appears to be with Active24, a Czech provider. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts and Typekit for typography. Performance is moderate, with some potential for improvement by updating scripts and optimizing assets. SEO is basic with canonical tags and RSS feeds but lacks advanced metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The technical stack is stable but outdated, requiring modernization to improve security and performance.
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.
