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

Česká správa sociálního zabezpečení (ČSSZ) is the Czech Republic's official government agency responsible for administering social security benefits including pensions, sickness, maternity, and social insurance contributions. The website serves as a comprehensive information and service portal targeting Czech citizens, employers, and self-employed individuals. It provides detailed guidance, forms, and online services to facilitate social security processes. The agency holds a strong market position as the authoritative national body in this sector. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Matomo for analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a moderate performance profile. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, although explicit security policy and incident response information are not prominently published. From a security perspective, the site shows a mature posture with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear GDPR information and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration transparency, but the professional presentation and government affiliation strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the website is a well-maintained, trustworthy government portal with comprehensive content and solid technical infrastructure. Strategic recommendations include publishing a formal security policy, enhancing incident response transparency, and adding a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen security posture.

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.

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 ČSSZ operates as a large government entity providing essential social security services to the Czech population. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on public administration rather than revenue generation. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive digital service offerings, including an ePortál for online interactions. The target customers are broad, encompassing individual citizens, employers, and healthcare providers. The presence of multiple related subdomains and partnerships with other government bodies like the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MPSV) and the Institute of Medical Assessment Services (IPZS) indicates a well-integrated ecosystem. Growth indicators include ongoing digitalization efforts such as electronic submissions and online appointment scheduling. The agency maintains active social media channels to engage with the public and disseminate information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of Matomo analytics respects privacy better than many commercial alternatives. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are best practices for government sites. The site uses secure forms with input sanitization and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security governance and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Conduct regular audits and updates of third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and Bootstrap for UI components and responsiveness. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-conscious user tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS bundles efficiently and uses combo loading to reduce requests. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in resource loading and caching. The site uses standard security headers and enforces HTTPS, contributing to a secure browsing experience. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in use. The technical infrastructure supports a stable and professional user experience aligned with government service expectations.
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.
