Risk levelMedium

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

The website represents the Czech Water Association (CzWA), a professional non-profit organization dedicated to water management and environmental protection in the Czech Republic. It serves as a platform for experts, companies, and institutions to collaborate, share knowledge, and organize events such as conferences and webinars. The site targets professionals and stakeholders in the water industry, offering membership services and expert group activities. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm a well-established entity with a credible market position. Technically, the website uses a custom-built platform with legacy JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.9.1 and jQuery UI 1.10.2, Google Fonts, and custom CSS/JS. While the site is functional and moderately optimized for mobile, it lacks modern CMS features and advanced performance or accessibility enhancements. No major analytics or tracking tools are detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach but also limited digital marketing maturity. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by base href), but no security headers are detected, and the use of outdated jQuery versions poses potential vulnerabilities. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Contact information is clearly provided, and GDPR compliance is indicated via a dedicated page, but cookie policy and terms of service are missing. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good business credibility but requires technical and security improvements to enhance resilience and compliance. Strategic recommendations include updating JavaScript libraries, implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, and publishing security policies to strengthen the security posture and user 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

11 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

  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"

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

CzWA operates as a key non-profit association in the Czech water sector, leveraging a membership model that includes both individual experts and corporate entities. Its competitive advantage lies in its long history (over 15 years online, 30 years of conference tradition) and extensive network of corporate members and international partners. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event fees, and possibly sponsorships. The target customers are water industry professionals, companies, and academic institutions. The partnership ecosystem is broad, including national and international water organizations, enhancing CzWA's influence and reach. Growth indicators include biennial conferences attracting hundreds of participants and active expert groups. The organization maintains a stable market presence but could benefit from digital modernization and enhanced online engagement.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate but with notable gaps. The website uses HTTPS but lacks essential security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are critical for mitigating common web attacks. The presence of outdated jQuery 1.9.1 introduces known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a dedicated page, but cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may pose compliance risks. No security contact channels are provided. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in technical controls, policy transparency, and user privacy protections.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom platform using legacy JavaScript libraries (jQuery 1.9.1 and jQuery UI 1.10.2) and Google Fonts for typography. It lacks modern CMS or framework indicators. Hosting is managed via Czech registrar REG-INTERNET-CZ with name servers at svethostingu.eu, suggesting local hosting. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques detected. Mobile responsiveness is basic, with viewport meta tag present but no advanced responsive frameworks. SEO is basic with meta tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are minimal. The technical debt includes outdated libraries and missing security headers, which pose risks to stability and security. Modernization opportunities include adopting a CMS, updating libraries, and implementing performance and accessibility best practices.
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.
