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

The website represents the official online presence of the Czech Republic's Ministry of the Environment (Ministerstvo životního prostředí). It serves as a comprehensive portal providing information on environmental protection, policies, public services, and news relevant to citizens, media, and government stakeholders. The ministry is positioned as a key national government entity responsible for environmental governance and sustainable development. The site offers extensive content including news, event calendars, publications, and access to partner organizations. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, utilizing modern web technologies such as Bootstrap for responsive design and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. It integrates Piwik PRO for analytics, ensuring moderate user tracking with privacy compliance. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, featuring clear navigation and structured content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with EU GDPR requirements. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program. The absence of WHOIS data is notable but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given its official government domain and consistent content. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong digital maturity with professional design, comprehensive content, and good privacy practices. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving transparency around incident response.

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Security headers

    • 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

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 Ministry of the Environment operates as a government agency focused on environmental protection and sustainable development in the Czech Republic. Its market position is authoritative and essential within the public sector. The ministry's business model revolves around regulatory oversight, public information dissemination, and management of environmental programs and funding. Revenue streams are government-funded, with no commercial activities. Target customers include citizens, businesses, media, and international partners. The ministry maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with specialized agencies and national parks. Growth indicators are aligned with governmental policy priorities and EU environmental directives. The website reflects a mature digital presence supporting transparency and public engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent framework supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Piwik PRO analytics is privacy-conscious compared to more invasive trackers. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The WHOIS data absence is unusual but may be due to privacy or registry policies. Overall, the site is secure for public informational use but could benefit from enhanced security controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.
  5. Maintain and monitor WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Slick Carousel for interactive UI components. It uses Piwik PRO for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-focused tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with viewport meta tags and accessible navigation. Performance appears moderate with deferred JavaScript loading and CSS bundling. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement advanced caching or CDN strategies to enhance performance further. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable government web presence.
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.
