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

Česká centra is the official governmental organization responsible for promoting Czech culture worldwide through a network of cultural centers abroad. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for information about their international branches, cultural events, projects, and media resources. It targets international audiences interested in Czech culture, including partners, media, and the general public. The organization holds a strong market position as the official cultural representation of the Czech Republic abroad. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Vimeo for video content, and Algolia for search functionality. The CMS appears to be Statamic, and the site is well-optimized for mobile devices with good SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts to enhance user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, indicating good privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly visible and could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is notable but likely due to registry policies for government domains. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security posture with room for minor improvements. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website appearing trustworthy, professional, and compliant with GDPR. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and improving accessibility. The site is a reliable digital asset for the Czech government's cultural diplomacy efforts.

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

  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

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

Česká centra operates as a government entity focused on cultural diplomacy and international promotion of Czech culture. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and extensive global network of 26 branches across 4 continents. The business model is non-commercial, funded by government and cultural partners, focusing on organizing cultural events, exhibitions, and supporting Czech artists abroad. Revenue streams likely include government funding and partnerships. The target customer segments include cultural institutions, artists, media, and international audiences interested in Czech culture. Growth indicators include active event programming and partnerships with prestigious institutions. The partnership ecosystem includes cultural organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions. Strategic observations highlight the organization's role in enhancing the Czech Republic's international image and cultural influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, reflecting GDPR compliance. The use of third-party analytics and tracking pixels is managed with user consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available incident response or security policy information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual but not necessarily suspicious for a government domain. Overall, the security culture appears responsible but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate clickjacking and MIME sniffing risks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Statamic CMS, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Vimeo for video content, and Algolia for search functionality. It uses Alpine.js for reactive UI components and Flickity for carousel displays. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of external scripts to reduce blocking. The use of CDN-hosted fonts and icons (FontAwesome) enhances load times. There is no explicit hosting provider information, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Technical risks are minimal, but the site could improve by adding explicit security headers and enhancing accessibility 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.
