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

Česká hepatologická společnost is a professional medical society based in the Czech Republic focused on hepatology. The website serves as a resource hub for clinical guidelines, educational events, webinars, and clinical study information targeting healthcare professionals specializing in liver diseases. The organization maintains partnerships with reputable pharmaceutical companies and medical publishers, enhancing its credibility and resource offerings. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Matomo analytics, with a moderate level of mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and enhancing privacy disclosures. The absence of WHOIS data is consistent with Czech domain registry privacy policies and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its niche audience effectively.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 society occupies a niche position in the Czech healthcare sector as a key provider of hepatology-related clinical guidelines and education. Its business model is non-profit and focused on professional development and knowledge dissemination. Revenue streams likely include event fees, sponsorships from pharmaceutical partners, and possibly grants. The target audience is specialized medical professionals, which aligns with the content and partner ecosystem. The presence of multiple pharmaceutical partners and a medical publisher indicates strong industry relationships. Growth indicators include regular updates to guidelines and active event promotion. The website's partnership ecosystem supports its mission and enhances its market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and forms employ POST methods, but no advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with GDPR and cookie policy pages, though no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls, formalized incident response contacts, and improved privacy transparency to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.
  2. Add explicit terms of service and incident response policy pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to broaden usability and meet modern standards.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including phone numbers and physical addresses to increase transparency.
  5. Establish a formal vulnerability disclosure program and publish security contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery and some media plugins, supported by Matomo for analytics. The site lacks a modern CMS or framework indication and shows moderate performance and SEO optimization. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, suggesting room for modernization. The hosting provider and infrastructure details are not disclosed. The site is functional and professionally designed but could benefit from modernization to improve performance, security, and user experience.
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.
