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

Česká rozvojová agentura (CZECH AID) is a Czech government development agency focused on poverty reduction, quality of life improvement, and sustainable development globally. Established in 2008 and governed by Czech law, it operates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. The agency collaborates with public administration, NGOs, academia, and the private sector to implement development projects and provide grants. The website reflects a professional government entity with clear navigation, relevant content, and official branding. Technical infrastructure includes modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, and responsive design, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and secure forms, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy/cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data is missing, limiting domain trust verification, but the overall site and contact information support legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, adding security headers, and publishing vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen trust and security culture.

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"

      • CWE-319

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 agency holds a key position in Czech Republic's foreign development cooperation ecosystem, funded and overseen by the government. Its business model centers on grant distribution, project support, and cooperation programs across sectors such as energy, social services, public administration, water and sanitation, education, healthcare, agriculture, and environment. The target audience includes government bodies, NGOs, private sector partners, and academic institutions. The website's content and social media presence indicate active engagement and transparency. Growth indicators include multiple ongoing projects and active calls for proposals. Partnerships with public and private sectors are evident, though no explicit partner domains were found. The agency's operations are consistent with a medium-sized government entity with a stable market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, suggesting limited readiness for security incidents. The security culture could be improved by adopting recognized frameworks and publishing security policies. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery 3.2.1, Select2 for enhanced form controls, Google Fonts, and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and mobile optimization. The site is responsive and provides a clear navigation structure with multi-level menus. Performance appears moderate with no obvious blocking scripts. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. The site lacks some modern security headers and explicit privacy mechanisms, which are technical debt areas. Overall, the technical implementation supports a stable and professional web presence suitable for a government agency.
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.
