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

e-INFRA CZ is a Czech Republic-based consortium providing unique e-infrastructure services for scientific research and development. The organization offers network infrastructure, high-performance computing, data storage, security, digital identity, and user collaboration services primarily targeting research institutions and scientific communities within the country. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant content focused on its mission. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, and a cookie consent management system (KookieCheck.cz). It is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure communication. However, some security headers are missing, and there is no explicit security policy or incident response information published. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as encrypted connections and user consent for cookies, but lacks published vulnerability disclosure or security contact details. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration insights, but the website's professional appearance and association with CESNET suggest legitimacy. Overall, the website is safe, well-maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements, serving its target audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security transparency and contact information would enhance trust and compliance further.

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

9 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

The organization operates as a non-profit consortium focused on providing e-infrastructure for research and development in the Czech Republic. Its market position is strong within the national scientific community, offering essential services such as network connectivity, computing resources, and data storage. The business model revolves around supporting scientific projects and institutions rather than commercial revenue generation. Partnerships with entities like CESNET and IT4Innovations indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The website content and social media presence support a credible and established operation with medium organizational size and a focus on technology and education sectors.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were found. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit security policies, incident response information, and security headers to harden the site further.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a detailed security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information and consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Maintain and regularly update cookie and privacy policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS likely provided by NETservis s.r.o., with a tech stack including jQuery 3.2.1, Google Analytics, and KookieCheck.cz for cookie management. It loads Google Fonts and SVG images for branding. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is hosted on HTTPS with no visible performance bottlenecks. Opportunities exist to modernize JavaScript libraries and improve accessibility compliance. No hosting provider details were identified from the content.
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.
