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

The website cz.basketball serves as the official digital platform for the Czech Basketball Federation, providing comprehensive information about basketball activities, news, competitions, teams, and fan engagement within the Czech Republic. It holds a strong market position as the national governing body for basketball, targeting players, coaches, referees, clubs, and fans. The site offers rich multimedia content and links to official partner sites, enhancing its community reach. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, and implements cookie consent mechanisms with script blocking based on user consent. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, though SEO could be improved with better meta descriptions and Open Graph images. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent for privacy compliance but lacks some advanced security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact. DNSSEC is not enabled, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business purpose. It scores well on business credibility and content quality but has room to enhance privacy compliance and security posture. Strategic improvements in these areas would strengthen user trust and regulatory compliance.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 Czech Basketball Federation operates as a medium-sized, important entity in the sports sector, specifically basketball in the Czech Republic. Its business model focuses on governance, event organization, and community engagement rather than commercial sales. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, partnerships, and event ticketing. The federation maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with national leagues, sponsors, media partners, and international basketball organizations. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and professional content, supporting growth and fan engagement strategies.

Security posture

The current security maturity of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security.txt, vulnerability disclosure, and some security headers suggests gaps in defense-in-depth and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, which is positive. The lack of incident response contact information may hinder timely communication in case of security events. Enhancing these areas would improve compliance with GDPR and NIS2 requirements and strengthen overall security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Improve SEO by adding meaningful meta descriptions and Open Graph images to enhance social sharing and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with asynchronous loading of Google Tag Manager and Analytics scripts, FontFaceObserver for font loading, and responsive CSS. Hosting is provided by Bombora Technologies Pty Ltd. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 with no detected CMS. Some technical debt is noted in missing SEO metadata and incomplete security headers. Overall, the infrastructure supports a stable and professional user experience but could benefit from technical SEO and security enhancements.
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.
