The website serves as a comprehensive portal providing information, online services, and resources for citizens, employers, self-employed persons, and foreigners with temporary protection.

The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and demonstrates good SEO practices. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, contributing to a solid 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.

Priority findings

5 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 government entity providing essential social security services to a broad audience including individuals, employers, and healthcare providers. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on public administration rather than commercial revenue. The agency maintains partnerships with related government bodies such as the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and medical assessment services. The website supports digital transformation through online portals and e-services, indicating a commitment to modernization and accessibility. Growth indicators include expanded online services and support for foreigners with temporary protection. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving multiple official domains and external government sites.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. The use of Matomo analytics respects privacy better than many commercial alternatives. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is well addressed through dedicated privacy information. The site’s security culture appears focused on protecting user data and maintaining trust, but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms with detailed information about data usage and retention.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications or trust seals to reinforce user confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive and interactive UI components. It uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics tracking. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags, canonical links, and accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. The technical infrastructure supports a large-scale government service portal, but hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation aligns with modern web standards and government digital service requirements.
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.
