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

DotaceEU.cz is the official Czech government portal managed by the Ministry of Regional Development, providing comprehensive information and support regarding European Union funds in the Czech Republic. The site serves a broad audience including public institutions, project applicants, and the general public interested in EU funding opportunities and regional development. It offers detailed statistics, news, event calendars, and educational resources to facilitate effective fund utilization. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with Kentico CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates Google Maps API, Chart.js for data visualization, and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for user behavior insights. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, ensuring a professional user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes CSRF protections in forms. However, some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an area for improvement. The use of third-party scripts is managed asynchronously to reduce performance impact. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified. Overall, DotaceEU.cz exhibits a high level of trustworthiness and professionalism, supported by consistent branding, official government affiliation, and transparent privacy and cookie policies. The domain's WHOIS data confirms a long-standing presence consistent with its governmental role. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain a robust 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

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

      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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

DotaceEU.cz occupies a key position as the centralized information hub for EU funding in the Czech Republic, operated by the Ministry of Regional Development. Its competitive advantage lies in official government backing, comprehensive data offerings, and multi-channel outreach including social media and newsletters. The business model focuses on public service and information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. Target customers include public sector entities, NGOs, and citizens seeking funding opportunities. Growth indicators include active event calendars and updated news reflecting ongoing EU funding cycles. Partnerships with EU bodies and national agencies strengthen its ecosystem. Operationally, the portal supports transparency and accessibility in fund management, contributing to regional development goals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, CSRF token implementation, and asynchronous loading of analytics and chat scripts to minimize attack surface. While core security headers are partially implemented, the absence of explicit Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers suggests room for enhancement to mitigate risks such as clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No evidence of exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries was found. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned privacy policies. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could be improved to facilitate security reporting. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively but should adopt additional headers and regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy header to restrict resource loading and reduce XSS risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking attacks.
  3. Include X-Content-Type-Options header to prevent MIME sniffing.
  4. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to avoid introducing vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on a mature ASP.NET WebForms framework with Kentico CMS, indicating a stable but somewhat legacy technology stack. Use of modern front-end libraries like Bootstrap and jQuery ensures responsive and accessible design. Integration of Google Maps API and Chart.js enhances data visualization capabilities. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading improving load times. The presence of multiple analytics and chat tools indicates a focus on user engagement and feedback. Technical debt may exist due to legacy ASP.NET WebForms, suggesting potential modernization opportunities. Hosting is managed by REG-WEBGLOBE, a known provider, supporting reliability. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's mission effectively with room for modernization.
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.
