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

The website www.fotbal.cz is the official digital presence of the Football Association of the Czech Republic (FAČR). It serves as a comprehensive platform for football-related news, media, and official publications such as the magazine Časopis Gól. The site targets football fans, sports professionals, and media, providing authoritative content and fostering partnerships with major sponsors and organizations like UEFA and FIFA. The business model is non-profit and government-affiliated, focusing on promoting and managing football activities within the Czech Republic. From a technical perspective, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and cookie consent management tools. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, offering a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. However, some technical improvements could be made, such as implementing additional security headers and publishing explicit privacy and security policies. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, alongside cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data slightly reduces trustworthiness but is not uncommon for official domains. The site lacks a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which could be areas for enhancement. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy, professional, and content-rich platform for Czech football stakeholders. Strategic recommendations include improving transparency around privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and establishing formal incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels to strengthen security posture and user trust.

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

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

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

FAČR holds a strong market position as the official governing body for football in the Czech Republic, leveraging partnerships with prominent brands and media outlets. Its business model centers on non-profit sports governance, media dissemination, and community engagement. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, partnerships, and official event management. The target customer segments include football fans, clubs, players, and media professionals. Growth indicators are reflected in the active publication of football magazines and digital content. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring major sports brands, automotive companies, and media partners. Operationally, the association maintains a professional digital presence with consistent branding and comprehensive content offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent management. Tracking and analytics are extensive but managed with consent mechanisms. The lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through cookie consent but lacks explicit privacy policy documentation. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, suggesting areas for improvement to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with libraries like Swiper.js for UI components and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Smartlook, and Gemius. Cookie consent is managed via dedicated scripts and CSS. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting details and CMS are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts to optimize speed. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and explicit CMS identification could improve technical robustness.
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.
