Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The Czech Gastroenterology Study Group (CGSG) operates a website dedicated to supporting gastroenterology research in the Czech Republic. The site provides resources for project registration, grant information, and scientific collaboration primarily targeting medical professionals and researchers. The organization is a small non-profit entity founded in 2019, affiliated with the Czech Gastroenterological Society. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with legacy JavaScript libraries, offering basic mobile responsiveness and navigation. Security posture is moderate but weakened by outdated libraries and lack of visible security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires modernization and enhanced security and privacy measures to improve trust and compliance.

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

9 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 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

CGSG occupies a niche healthcare research support market in the Czech Republic, leveraging partnerships with established gastroenterological societies. Its business model focuses on non-profit scientific facilitation rather than commercial revenue. The website's limited technical sophistication and lack of advanced marketing or analytics tools suggest a focus on content delivery over commercial expansion. The presence of social media links and external survey collaborations indicates active engagement with the professional community. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and improving compliance and security to build trust among international collaborators.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS assumed but not explicitly confirmed. The use of outdated jQuery 1.8.3 introduces known vulnerabilities, and no security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) are detected, increasing risk exposure. Forms utilize ASP.NET viewstate and event validation, providing some input integrity. Absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as no incident response or security contact information, highlight compliance and readiness gaps. Overall, security maturity is moderate but requires urgent updates to libraries, implementation of security headers, and formal privacy compliance to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add and configure essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configuration and certificate management.
  5. Establish and publish incident response contacts and procedures to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms technology, using legacy jQuery 1.8.3 and jQuery UI 1.11.4 libraries. The HTML structure is valid but basic, with minimal SEO meta tags and no structured data (JSON-LD or Open Graph). The site includes form elements with ASP.NET viewstate and event validation for state management and security. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization. No modern analytics or tracking tools are detected, indicating limited digital marketing integration. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and lack of modern security practices, suggesting opportunities for modernization and improved 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.
