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

Asociace pro veřejné zakázky (AVZ) is a Czech non-profit association established in 2006 that serves as a platform for entities involved in public procurement. It brings together contracting authorities, suppliers, lawyers, administrators, and consultants to promote qualified and responsible approaches to public procurement processes. The association offers educational programs such as the internationally recognized LL.M. in Public Procurement, organizes events, and publishes expert articles, positioning itself as a key player in the Czech public procurement sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting professionals and organizations engaged in public procurement activities. Technically, the website is built on a Joomla CMS platform enhanced with modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap 5.3.3, Animate.css, and Tiny-slider. It is hosted on a Czech hosting provider (cesky-hosting.eu) and employs HTTPS with a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a moderate to good level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a clear navigation structure, although accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure form submissions. However, it lacks explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and advanced security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by a GDPR document linked in the footer and an active cookie consent banner. Contact information is transparent and professional, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a strong business credibility and good privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing formal security policies, implementing vulnerability disclosure, enhancing accessibility, and adding security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

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

6 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

AVZ holds a strong market position as a specialized association in the public procurement domain within the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its recognized educational offerings, such as the LL.M. program in cooperation with Charles University, and its active engagement with regulatory bodies like ÚOHS and MMR. The business model is membership-based, providing value through events, publications, and networking opportunities. The association targets professionals and organizations involved in public procurement, including legal experts and suppliers. Growth indicators include an expanding member base (124 members) and ongoing educational initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes academic institutions and government authorities, reinforcing its credibility and influence in the sector.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and secure form submissions, and it implements a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a published security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, and security.txt file indicates gaps in formal security governance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, but the lack of advanced security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for improvement. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the public content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit association but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and make it accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards (e.g., WCAG).
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on Joomla CMS with a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap 5.3.3, Animate.css, Tiny-slider, GLightbox, and Naja.js for enhanced UI/UX. Hosting is provided by a Czech hosting provider, ensuring regional proximity and likely compliance with local regulations. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 with responsive design. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers. The use of external CDNs for libraries like Animate.css and Tiny-slider is standard but should be monitored for supply chain risks.
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.
