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

Byro is a small, Czech Republic-based community platform focused on creative professionals working in public administration. It aims to foster a more creative, open, and inclusive bureaucracy through networking, education, mentoring, and events. The platform targets public officials who want to improve their work and the functioning of the state. Technically, the website is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies and delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and decent SEO. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though some advanced security headers and privacy policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS data limits trust but is likely due to privacy protection. Overall, Byro presents as a legitimate niche community platform with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

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

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

Byro occupies a niche in the Czech public administration sector, providing services such as networking, education, mentoring, and community events. Its business model centers on community engagement and support for innovation and digital transformation within government. The presence of LinkedIn profiles for team members adds credibility. The platform is small in size and focused on a specialized audience. There is no evidence of commercial transactions or monetization on the site. The lack of explicit business contact details and policies suggests a community or non-profit orientation rather than a commercial enterprise.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with HSTS, indicating a good baseline security posture. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not provide visible security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a community platform but with room for improvement to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including an abuse or security email address.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Improve accessibility features and conduct an accessibility audit to ensure inclusivity for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing standard web technologies including JavaScript, CSS3, and Google Fonts. Hosting is via Squarespace's infrastructure with Cloudfront CDN for asset delivery. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, typical for a CMS-based site. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical implementation is solid for a small community platform but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
