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

The website export.cz serves as the official economic diplomacy portal of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MZV). It provides news, analysis, and support services related to export promotion, international markets, and investment opportunities. The site targets business professionals, exporters, government officials, and investors interested in Czech economic diplomacy. The business model is governmental, focusing on information dissemination and export support rather than commercial transactions. The site is well-branded and consistent with official government identity. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Extra theme and several plugins including Google Analytics and Adform for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and basic accessibility features. Security is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though security headers are not explicitly detected. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. From a security perspective, the site shows good compliance with privacy regulations including GDPR, with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is provided. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern for domain registration transparency but is mitigated by the official nature of the content and branding. Overall, the site is a trustworthy and professional government portal with moderate technical sophistication and good privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving WHOIS transparency to strengthen trust and 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

10 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Export.cz is positioned as a key governmental platform supporting Czech exporters and economic diplomacy efforts. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, providing authoritative content and services. The business model is informational and supportive, focusing on facilitating export success and international cooperation. Revenue streams are likely government-funded rather than commercial. The target customers are Czech exporters, investors, and policymakers. Growth indicators include active content updates, social media engagement, and partnerships with other government and industry entities. The partnership ecosystem includes official social media channels and possibly other government agencies. The site’s operations reflect a stable, medium-sized government entity with a focus on transparency and public service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No dedicated security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could hinder incident handling and transparency. The use of third-party tracking scripts (Google Analytics, Adform) is balanced with user consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure for its informational purpose but could improve by adopting additional security headers and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Improve WHOIS registration transparency to align domain registration data with official government identity.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Extra theme and several plugins such as Autoptimize, YouTube Channel, and tracking tools like Google Analytics and Adform. The site uses jQuery and MediaElement.js for frontend functionality. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and caching optimizations. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern but relies on common third-party scripts which require regular security reviews.
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.
