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

České vysoké učení technické v Praze (ČVUT) is a major and historic technical university in Europe, providing a wide range of educational programs, research activities, and public engagement. The website reflects a well-structured academic institution with a focus on students, researchers, and the public. The digital infrastructure is built on Drupal CMS with modern web technologies, supporting a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy and terms policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the evident legitimacy of the institution. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy, serving its educational mission effectively.

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

6 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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

  2. Security headers

    • 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

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

ČVUT holds a strong market position as one of the largest and oldest technical universities in Europe, targeting students, academics, and partners. Its business model is public education and research, supported by certifications like the HR Award. The university maintains active social media channels and offers international programs, exhibitions, and events. The website's technical stack and content quality indicate a mature digital presence, though some compliance documents are missing. Partnerships and external domains linked suggest a broad ecosystem supporting education and research.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent in line with EU regulations, indicating a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, and no direct security contact information is available. The use of third-party tracking scripts like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel introduces moderate user tracking, which is partially mitigated by the cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy with clear contact channels.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including security and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks, ensuring a responsive and modern user interface. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are used for analytics and marketing purposes. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources efficiently, though performance is moderate rather than fast. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured navigation. The absence of advanced security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed to improve trust and security posture.
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.
