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

CPBS Institute z.s. is a Czech non-profit organization specializing in research, development, and education in the fields of population protection, crisis management, and critical infrastructure. Established in 2008, it operates with government partnerships and focuses on innovative educational technologies including virtual reality and simulation. The website reflects a professional presence with clear information about their projects, educational offerings, and contact details. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Owl Carousel, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. However, some compliance gaps exist, notably the absence of a dedicated privacy policy and terms of service pages. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response contacts. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-positioned within its niche but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security documentation.

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

  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"

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 organization targets educational institutions, government bodies, and individuals interested in crisis management and safety education. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on knowledge transfer through research projects, interactive courses, and simulation technologies. The presence of multiple government-funded projects and partnerships with related domains like vrfok.cz indicates a strong ecosystem and credibility. The website content and linked domains suggest a focus on Czech and regional markets with specialized services rather than mass commercial offerings. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and active educational portals. The organization maintains a consistent brand and professional digital footprint, supporting its market position as a trusted educational and research entity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a functional cookie consent mechanism, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of published privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts represents compliance and transparency gaps. No advanced security headers were detected, and no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or security certifications was found. The absence of visible security best practices such as CSP or HSTS headers could expose the site to certain risks. The organization should prioritize publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies and implementing additional security headers to enhance protection and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and transparency.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update all third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. The site loads multiple external CSS and JS libraries, ensuring a visually appealing and functional interface. Hosting is provided by Active24, a reputable provider, with domain registration consistent with the organization's history. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Overall, the technical implementation supports the organization's goals but has room for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
