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

The website cestina-pro-cizince.cz serves as the official portal for Czech language exams required for permanent residence and citizenship in the Czech Republic. It is supported by key governmental bodies including the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Education, and Charles University, and operated by the National Pedagogical Institute of the Czech Republic (NPI ČR). The site provides comprehensive information about exam requirements, preparation materials, online registration, and links to relevant institutions, targeting foreigners seeking legal residency or citizenship. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and the Nette framework, with integration of Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and multilingual, enhancing accessibility for its diverse audience. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the site's official and governmental nature, supporting its legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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.

Priority findings

7 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"

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 portal occupies a niche position as an authoritative government-backed educational resource, providing essential services for language certification tied to immigration processes. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service and information dissemination. The site benefits from partnerships with ministries and universities, enhancing credibility and reach. The multilingual support and online registration system indicate a user-centric approach, facilitating access for international users. While revenue streams are not commercial, the site likely receives government funding. The presence of social media channels supports community engagement and outreach. Growth indicators include regular updates and multiple exam dates offered annually. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy and security transparency to further build user trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR principles. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy risks, though user consent is managed. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. To improve, the site should implement security headers, publish security policies, and provide clear incident response contacts. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for an informational government site but can be enhanced.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  3. Provide explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts and procedures.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize privacy and security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 4.6, jQuery 3.6, Font Awesome 5.15, and the Nette PHP framework, indicating a mature and maintainable infrastructure. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, with a multilingual cookie consent tool supporting GDPR compliance. Hosting is managed via Czech registrar REG-INTERNET-CZ with name servers at forpsi.net and forpsi.it, suggesting local hosting. Performance is moderate with standard CDN usage for fonts and scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and language selection for mobile users. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could modernize the platform further. No CMS is explicitly detected beyond the Nette framework components.
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.
