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

Česká exportní banka is a Czech Republic-based financial institution specializing in supporting Czech exporters, investments abroad, and enhancing competitiveness. The bank offers a range of financial products including export loans, investment financing, bank guarantees, receivables financing, and documentary payments. It holds a significant market position as a key national export bank, targeting businesses seeking to expand their export capabilities and investments internationally. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, with comprehensive content tailored to its target audience. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and the Nette PHP framework. The site is responsive, accessible, and optimized for SEO, providing a good user experience across devices. However, some security headers are missing, and WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust from a technical and domain registration perspective. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The site lacks explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is strong, with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie management. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security headers and transparency in incident response. The risk assessment indicates a moderate risk primarily due to missing WHOIS data and minor security header gaps. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing clear incident response contacts to strengthen trust and 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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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 bank operates in the finance sector, focusing on export financing and investment support for Czech companies. Its business model is state-backed, providing financial products to facilitate export growth and competitiveness. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a strong national presence. Key revenue streams likely include interest and fees from export loans, guarantees, and financing services. The target customers are exporters, investors, and businesses requiring financial products to expand internationally. The bank maintains partnerships with recruitment and design firms, indicating a mature operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent news highlighting record trade results and participation in major industry events. The company emphasizes trust and professionalism through comprehensive disclosures and active social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is managed with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and improving incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response information.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.
  5. Enhance transparency and user trust by providing detailed data retention policies and privacy compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Nette PHP framework and utilizes modern front-end technologies including responsive CSS and SVG graphics for scalable visuals. It integrates Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight for analytics and marketing purposes, managed through Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes for improved usability. Performance appears moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security 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.
