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

Český svaz vědeckotechnických společností z.s. (ČSVTS) is a well-established Czech non-profit organization dedicated to supporting scientific and technical societies, promoting STEM education, and facilitating international cooperation. The website serves as an information hub for members, students, and professionals, offering event details, membership information, and facility rental services. The organization has a strong market position in the Czech Republic with a history dating back to 1997. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. While performance is moderate and mobile optimization is good, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. The site uses HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, but lacks some important security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic good practices but could enhance its posture by implementing security headers, publishing a security policy or vulnerability disclosure, and improving privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration data supports the site's legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, serving its audience well. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security hardening would further strengthen its position and user trust.

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

10 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. 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"

    • 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

ČSVTS operates as a central association for scientific and technical societies in the Czech Republic, focusing on education, event organization, and member services. Its business model is non-profit, relying on memberships, event fees, and facility rentals. The organization targets STEM professionals, educators, students, and member societies. Partnerships with international engineering federations and educational institutions enhance its credibility and reach. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and comprehensive content, supporting its role as a key player in Czech STEM education and professional networking.

Security posture

The website maintains a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and CSRF protections in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are publicly available, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses modern libraries, but regular updates and security hardening are recommended to maintain resilience against emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file or dedicated security page for vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly update Joomla CMS and third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla 4.4.13 with a modern front-end stack including jQuery 3.7.1 and Bootstrap 5.3.2, ensuring responsive design and interactive features. The use of chosen.js and awesomplete enhances form usability. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently but could benefit from performance optimizations such as asset minification and caching strategies. SEO is basic with meta tags present but could be improved with structured data and enhanced accessibility. Hosting appears stable with a reputable registrar, and HTTPS is properly configured. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's needs but has opportunities for modernization and security improvements.
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.
