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

The website www.fotbal.cz is the official online presence of the Football Association of the Czech Republic (Fotbalová asociace České republiky). It serves as a comprehensive platform for football-related news, official publications such as the Časopis Gól magazine, match calendars, and information about clubs and competitions. The site targets football fans, players, clubs, and stakeholders within the Czech football ecosystem, positioning itself as the authoritative source for football governance and media in the country. The business model is non-profit and government-affiliated, focusing on sports governance and media dissemination. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Smartlook, and various JavaScript libraries for UI and cookie consent management. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, has good accessibility features, and demonstrates solid SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the site lacks a publicly accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages, which are important for full GDPR compliance and user trust. No security incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be improved. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, with strong branding and partner endorsements. The absence of WHOIS data is consistent with CZ NIC policies and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and terms policies, enhancing security headers, and formalizing incident response disclosures to improve compliance 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

6 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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 Football Association of the Czech Republic holds a strong market position as the national governing body for football. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status, extensive partner network, and authoritative content. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, partnerships, and media rights. The target customer segments include football fans, clubs, players, and media. Growth indicators are positive given the active publication of official magazines and engagement with multiple partners. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including major brands like Penny, Fortuna, Puma, Hyundai, and media outlets such as Česká televize and MF Dnes. The organization's operations reflect a mature and well-established sports governance entity with a clear focus on football promotion and administration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent mechanisms. Tracking and analytics are implemented responsibly with user consent. However, the absence of published privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response plans indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers appear to be minimal or not explicitly declared, suggesting room for improvement. The site would benefit from implementing Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and other headers to mitigate common web attacks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify legal usage and user responsibilities.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a security incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against web attacks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts to optimize performance. It employs popular JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and EasyDropdown for enhanced user experience. Cookie consent is managed via dedicated scripts and stylesheets, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized compliance documentation.
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.
