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

Česká rozvojová agentura (CZECH AID) is a Czech government development agency established in 2008, operating under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. It focuses on reducing poverty, improving quality of life, and promoting sustainable development globally through cooperation with public administration, NGOs, academia, and the private sector. The agency manages development projects, grant programs, and delegated cooperation initiatives, positioning itself as the central entity for Czech foreign development cooperation. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Select2 for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended. The website uses HTTPS with no visible security vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and secure form implementations but lacks several security headers and a visible privacy or cookie policy, which are important for GDPR compliance. No WHOIS data was retrievable, limiting domain registration trust verification. However, the official government affiliation and consistent branding support legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the Czech development agency, but improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and domain registration transparency would enhance its security posture 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

9 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

  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"

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

CZECH AID operates as a government agency providing foreign development aid and cooperation services. Its market position is strong as the official Czech development cooperation body, collaborating with multiple sectors including energy, social services, public administration, water and sanitation, education, healthcare, agriculture, and environment. The agency's business model revolves around managing and funding development projects and partnerships. Revenue streams are primarily government-funded. The target customers include governmental bodies, NGOs, private sector partners, and academic institutions. The agency demonstrates growth through active project management and public tenders. Its partnership ecosystem includes public administration and non-profit organizations, with a strategic focus on sustainable development goals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing security contact information or security.txt. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and incident handling.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery 3.2.1, Google Tag Manager for analytics, Select2 for enhanced form controls, and FontAwesome for icons. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. The CMS or hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site could benefit from modernizing some libraries and adding progressive web app features. Technical debt appears low but some improvements in security headers and accessibility are recommended to reduce risks and improve compliance.
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.
