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

Česká centra is an official governmental cultural organization dedicated to promoting Czech culture worldwide through a network of 26 branches across four continents. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for information about their cultural events, projects, and partnerships, targeting international cultural audiences, media, and partners. The organization operates as a public diplomacy entity, supporting Czech artists and cultural initiatives abroad. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Vimeo for video content, and Algolia for search functionality, built on the Statamic CMS platform. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and provides a professional user experience with clear navigation and rich content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent mechanisms, and integrates tracking scripts responsibly, though it could improve by adding certain security headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy. The absence of WHOIS data is consistent with Czech government domain privacy policies and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong security posture, good privacy compliance, and high business credibility, making it a trustworthy and authoritative source for Czech cultural promotion internationally.

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

7 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

      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

The organization holds a strong market position as the official cultural representation of the Czech Republic abroad, leveraging partnerships with reputable institutions such as Czech Television, the National Gallery Prague, and the Václav Havel Library. Its business model focuses on public diplomacy and cultural promotion, organizing over 1,600 events annually and engaging millions of visitors and followers on social media. The target customer segments include cultural professionals, international audiences interested in Czech culture, media, and governmental partners. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring collaborations with international cultural forums and governmental bodies. Growth indicators include expanding digital presence and active engagement in global cultural events such as EXPO 2025. Strategic observations highlight the organization's role in enhancing the Czech Republic's cultural footprint and fostering international cultural exchange.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent compliance aligned with GDPR. It integrates widely used analytics and tracking services with user consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in vulnerability management. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment suitable for a governmental cultural entity but would benefit from enhanced header policies and formal vulnerability disclosure channels to strengthen its security culture and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated security policy page to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Statamic CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js for interactivity and Flickity for carousel displays. It integrates Google Fonts for typography and FontAwesome for icons, ensuring a visually consistent and responsive design. The use of Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel indicates a sophisticated approach to marketing and analytics. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images, though further optimization could improve speed. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive navigation and layout. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized incident response mechanisms to reduce technical risks.
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.
