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

The CzechTravelMarket.cz website is a professional platform managed by ABF a.s., focusing on organizing and promoting the Czech Travel Market, an international contracting day for the travel industry. It serves as a hub for event news, partner information, visitor and exhibitor registration, and a marketplace for travel-related products. The site targets travel industry professionals, exhibitors, visitors, and media, primarily within the Czech Republic but with international reach. The business model revolves around event management and marketplace facilitation, positioning ABF a.s. as a key player in the Czech travel and hospitality sector. Technically, the website employs a mix of established web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and various JavaScript libraries for UI components and analytics. Hosting and domain registration are managed by WEDOS, a reputable Czech provider. The site uses HTTPS and integrates multiple analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Matomo, and Facebook Pixel, alongside a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and compliance awareness. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent but relies on an outdated jQuery version which may expose it to known vulnerabilities. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, and some advanced security headers are not confirmed. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's business claims, showing a consistent and legitimate registration since 2015. Overall, the website is well-structured, content-rich, and professionally maintained, with room for improvement in privacy policy transparency and security hardening. The risk profile is moderate, with no critical issues detected but some technical debt and compliance gaps that should be addressed to enhance trust and security posture.

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

10 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 Travel Market is positioned as a leading event organizer in the Czech travel and hospitality industry, leveraging partnerships with governmental bodies like the city of Prague and industry associations. The business model includes event hosting, exhibitor and visitor engagement, and an associated marketplace (shopex.cz) for travel-related products. Revenue streams likely include event fees, sponsorships, and marketplace commissions. The target customers are travel agencies, tourism boards, exhibitors, and industry professionals. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including automotive brands, media partners, and energy sector collaborators, indicating diversified support and market reach. Growth indicators include consistent event scheduling, expanding partner lists, and integration of digital marketing tools. Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital transformation and marketplace expansion to complement physical events.

Security posture

The website maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited if not mitigated. The absence of a published security.txt file and lack of visible advanced security headers such as CSP or X-Frame-Options reduce the site's defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were found in the HTML. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could delay vulnerability reporting and remediation. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent but lacks a clear privacy policy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to update libraries, enhance header policies, and publish vulnerability disclosure information.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Add or verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.12.4, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and various UI and analytics scripts. Hosting is provided by WEDOS, a Czech hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted resources for analytics. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements. SEO is basic, with meta tags present but limited structured data. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. Technical debt is evident in the use of outdated libraries and lack of modern security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance metrics, and enhance compliance and security configurations.
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.
