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

Český plynárenský svaz (ČPS) is a well-established Czech association representing companies and professionals in the gas industry. Founded originally in 1919 and re-established in 1992, it serves as a key national body for technical standards, legislative advocacy, education, and certification within the energy sector. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive resource for members and stakeholders, offering detailed information about organizational structure, committees, events, and partnerships. The association maintains strong ties with international and national partners, reinforcing its market position and credibility. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap 5, JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured, though some accessibility features could be improved. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, indicating room for improvement in security transparency and user trust. Overall, the website is a credible and professional platform for the Czech gas industry association, with strong business legitimacy and good technical implementation. Enhancing privacy compliance and security practices would further strengthen its risk posture and user confidence.

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"

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

ČPS holds a strong market position as the authoritative gas industry association in the Czech Republic, leveraging a long history and extensive membership base. Its business model focuses on non-profit professional services including standards development, education, certification, and advocacy. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event hosting, and publication sales. The target audience includes industry professionals, companies, regulators, and students. The association's partnership ecosystem spans national chambers, international gas unions, and technical standard bodies, enhancing its influence and operational reach. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining compliance with evolving EU regulations and expanding digital engagement to support member services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. Lack of published privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No dedicated incident response or vulnerability disclosure channels are provided, limiting transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager requires careful monitoring to avoid privacy risks. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the security posture would benefit from enhanced policies, headers, and incident management capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel and vulnerability disclosure policy.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and privacy impact.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern front-end stack using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, supplemented by JavaScript libraries such as Glightbox, Swiper, and Isotope for interactive UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site structure is semantic and well-organized, supporting good SEO and user navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization opportunities in script loading and image compression. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting details are not disclosed, but the domain is secured with HTTPS. Technical risks are minimal but could include dependency on third-party scripts and lack of advanced security headers.
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.
