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

EPONA z.s. is a Czech non-profit organization established in 1999, specializing in hippotherapy and rehabilitation services using horses. The organization serves clients with neurological and orthopedic conditions, offering ambulatory and intensive therapy sessions, educational courses, and social programs such as summer camps. It holds recognized certifications and official status from the Czech Hippotherapy Society, positioning it as a reputable provider in its niche healthcare sector. The website is built on WordPress with a moderate technical infrastructure, including common plugins and sliders, and hosted likely by Wedos, a Czech provider. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive content in Czech, targeting families with handicapped children and healthcare professionals. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though improvements in security headers, contact information clarity, and SEO could enhance its digital maturity.

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.

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

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

EPONA z.s. operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on hippotherapy for clients with disabilities. Its business model revolves around providing therapeutic services, educational programs, and social activities, supported by partnerships with governmental and regional institutions. The organization benefits from a strong local reputation and official certifications, which serve as trust signals. Revenue streams likely include therapy fees, grants, and donations. The target audience includes families with disabled children and healthcare providers. The website reflects a stable, small-sized organization with a consistent brand and clear market positioning. Partnerships with Czech ministries and regional bodies indicate a solid ecosystem supporting its operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. The presence of Wordfence scripts suggests active security monitoring. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Improve SEO by adding structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags for better search engine visibility.
  5. Replace personal email contact with an official organizational email address to enhance professionalism and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Mantra theme and common plugins such as Nivo Slider, Slick Slider, and Complianz GDPR Cookie Consent. It uses jQuery and custom scripts for frontend interactions. Hosting appears to be with Wedos, a Czech provider, consistent with the domain registrar. Performance is moderate with some caching indicated. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. However, accessibility is basic and SEO could be improved with better metadata and structured data. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were identified in the provided HTML 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.
