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

The International Clinical Research Center (ICRC) is a joint clinical research and education institution affiliated with the Faculty Hospital St. Anne's in Brno and the Medical Faculty of Masaryk University. It focuses on advancing medical research, education, and industrial cooperation, positioning itself as a key regional player in healthcare innovation. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, targeting medical researchers, healthcare professionals, students, and the general public interested in medical advancements. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme, enhanced with Yoast SEO and Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious visitor tracking. It integrates Google Maps and cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating a moderate to good level of digital maturity. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though accessibility could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent but lacks some recommended security headers. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS registration details slightly impacts trustworthiness, but the site's affiliations and certifications, such as the HR Award, support its legitimacy. Overall, the ICRC website is a secure, privacy-compliant, and professionally maintained platform that effectively serves its audience. Strategic improvements in security headers, accessibility, and transparency of domain registration would further enhance its trust and resilience.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

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

  4. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ICRC operates as an essential healthcare and education entity, leveraging partnerships with a university and hospital to deliver clinical research and training. Its market position is strong regionally, supported by certifications and active public engagement. The business model centers on research, education, and industrial collaboration, with revenue likely derived from grants, partnerships, and educational programs. The target customers include academic researchers, medical professionals, students, and the public. Growth indicators include active project participation and international collaborations. The partnership ecosystem includes FNUSA and Masaryk University, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent compliance. However, it lacks several security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a published security policy or incident response plan limits transparency. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards for all users.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with a popular commercial theme (Enfold) and SEO plugin (Yoast). It integrates Matomo analytics for privacy-focused tracking and Google Maps API for location services. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is well-maintained but could improve security posture by adding missing HTTP headers and formalizing security documentation. 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.
