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

The Interreg AT-CZ website represents a government-backed cross-border cooperation program between Austria and the Czech Republic, focusing on regional development through EU-funded projects. The site provides comprehensive information on program priorities, project catalogs, events, and application deadlines, targeting regional authorities, SMEs, researchers, and public institutions. The business model is centered on facilitating and supporting cross-border collaboration and funding allocation. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and a slider library (Splide.js), with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and basic form validation, though security headers and explicit security policies are absent. Privacy compliance is evident through a GDPR page and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its government and EU program context.

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

8 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

      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 website positions itself as an authoritative source for the Interreg Austria-Czech Republic cooperation program, leveraging EU funding to support regional projects. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing and comprehensive program information. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public sector collaboration and funding facilitation. The target audience includes project applicants, regional governments, and research institutions. Growth indicators include active event calendars and recent news updates. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as ems.at-cz.eu and jems.at-cz.eu, which appear to be program management systems. Strategic observations highlight a focus on transparency, accessibility, and cross-border cooperation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses form validation for email inputs but could improve by adding multi-factor protections or CAPTCHA for forms. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but could be enhanced with explicit data retention and incident response details. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for a government informational site but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication with researchers.
  4. Enhance form security by integrating CAPTCHA or other bot mitigation techniques to prevent automated abuse.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or unknown CMS platform using standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, including the Splide.js library for sliders and jQuery implied by script usage. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate with no obvious heavy scripts or large assets detected. Accessibility is basic but present, with alt attributes on images and semantic HTML elements. The site lacks advanced frameworks or platforms but is stable and functional for its purpose. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Opportunities exist to modernize with progressive web app features or enhanced accessibility 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.
