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

EkoLink.cz is a Czech environmental link catalog managed by the civic association BEZK, established since 2000. It serves as a resource hub for environmental, ecological, energy, transport, and societal topics, targeting the general public interested in nature and sustainability. The website aggregates over 1900 categorized links and provides community engagement through link submissions and feedback. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS called Toolkit, hosted on ecn.cz infrastructure, and integrates Google Analytics and Adsense for tracking and monetization. The design and user experience are basic but functional, with moderate SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and formal policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, reflecting a stable and trustworthy non-profit entity.

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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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

The website operates as a non-profit informational catalog with a focus on environmental topics, supported by EU funding and coordinated by BEZK. Its market position is that of a niche, long-standing resource in the Czech environmental sector. The business model relies on community contributions and advertising revenue from Google Adsense and Billboard.cz. Partnerships with related environmental organizations and catalogs like Kormidlo strengthen its ecosystem. The target audience includes environmentally conscious individuals, NGOs, and researchers. Growth indicators include a large and growing link database and active content updates. The site lacks direct commercial services but provides valuable informational services within its sector.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are present, indicating basic compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy is published, and no dedicated security contact is provided. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces moderate tracking risks. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but security best practices could be improved to enhance resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to modern standards for better user experience.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and advertising integrations to minimize tracking and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy but functional technology stack based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with integration of Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and Adsense for analytics and monetization. It runs on a custom CMS called Toolkit hosted by ecn.cz, indicating a tailored but potentially outdated platform. Performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features. The site lacks modern frameworks or responsive design elements, suggesting technical debt and opportunities for modernization. Security configurations are minimal, and no advanced infrastructure or cloud services are detected. Overall, the technical setup supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
