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

CzechInvest is the official Business and Investment Development Agency of the Czech Republic, focused on advising and supporting entrepreneurs and foreign investors. The agency provides a broad range of services including investment incentives, startup incubation, visa support, and aftercare services. The website reflects a mature government entity with a strong market position in the Czech investment ecosystem. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET with Kentico CMS, leveraging modern web technologies and fonts, and is mobile optimized with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, though some security headers are missing and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, with clear contact information and social media presence. However, the absence of WHOIS data reduces domain registration transparency, which is a minor concern for 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

6 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

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

CzechInvest operates as a government agency providing essential services to attract and support investment in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive service offerings, and strong partnerships with national and international organizations. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on advisory and facilitation rather than direct commercial activities. The target customers include foreign investors, startups, and established businesses looking to expand in Czechia. The agency's ecosystem includes partnerships with research institutions, trade organizations, and government bodies, enhancing its influence and reach. Growth indicators include active news and events, startup programs, and sector-specific initiatives like the Defence Hub. The agency maintains a professional digital presence aligned with its mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection on forms. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no public security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the visible content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional headers and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature ASP.NET WebForms platform with Kentico CMS, using modern JavaScript libraries and web fonts. Performance is moderate with some reliance on external scripts such as Facebook SDK and Twitter widgets. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical debt is moderate due to the use of WebForms, which is older technology, but the site remains functional and professional. Opportunities exist to modernize the front-end stack and improve accessibility compliance. No critical technical risks were identified that would impact business operations.
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.
