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

Český metrologický institut (ČMI) is the official national metrology institute of the Czech Republic, providing essential government services related to calibration, verification, and notified body functions for measuring instruments and medical devices. The website serves as an information portal for businesses and public entities requiring metrology services, offering access to news, contact information, and service databases. The site is built on Drupal 7 with legacy JavaScript libraries, indicating a mature but aging technical infrastructure. While the site is accessible and functional, content quality is basic with some placeholder areas and limited multilingual support. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks modern security headers and visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent mechanism detected and only a basic privacy statement available. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to registry policies for government domains, but the domain's .gov.cz TLD and consistent branding support legitimacy. Overall, the site is a trustworthy government resource but would benefit from technical modernization and enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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.

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 ČMI operates as a government entity focused on metrology, calibration, and verification services critical to regulatory compliance and market surveillance in the Czech Republic. Its market position is strong as the national authority in metrology, serving a wide range of industries including healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation. The business model is service-oriented, funded and mandated by government, with key revenue streams likely from calibration and certification services. The website supports this by providing access to service databases, contact points, and regulatory information. Partnerships include international metrology organizations and national regulatory bodies. Growth indicators are not explicit but the presence of workshops and conferences suggests active engagement in sector development. The site’s digital presence is functional but could be improved to better support user engagement and service delivery.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses spam protection scripts to safeguard form inputs. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies reduce transparency and preparedness perception. The use of Drupal 7 and older JavaScript libraries may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not regularly patched. No sensitive data exposure was detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting modern security best practices and enhancing transparency around security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Upgrade the Drupal CMS and JavaScript libraries to supported versions to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to build trust and demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Enhance website content quality and multilingual support to improve user experience and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing jQuery 1.12 and CKEditor for content editing, along with Colorbox for UI elements. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain, indicating self-hosted resources. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with viewport meta tags and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no explicit optimization indicators such as lazy loading or advanced caching detected. The technical stack is stable but dated, suggesting a need for modernization to improve security, performance, and maintainability.
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.
