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

The Hasičský záchranný sbor České republiky (Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic) is a large government entity responsible for protecting lives, health, and property from fires and other emergencies. It operates under the Ministry of Interior and coordinates integrated rescue efforts nationally. The website serves as an official information portal providing news, services, educational resources, and contact information for the public and professionals. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets a broad audience including citizens, government bodies, and emergency responders. Technically, the site uses legacy jQuery alongside modern tracking tools like Google Tag Manager and enforces HTTPS with a Content Security Policy, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a comprehensive privacy policy page. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, which is a potential area for enhancement. Overall, the site is trustworthy, secure, and authoritative, reflecting its government status.

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

7 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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 organization holds a strong market position as the national fire rescue and civil protection authority in the Czech Republic. Its business model is public service, funded and operated by the government. The website supports multiple subsidiary institutions including regional fire brigades, educational schools, and specialized units. The presence of social media channels and detailed service descriptions indicates active engagement and transparency. Partnerships with the Ministry of Interior and Police further reinforce its ecosystem. The site’s content and structure suggest a mature digital presence with room for modernization in technical stack and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy header. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.1.3.1) presents a potential vulnerability risk. The absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security is noted. No exposed sensitive data or contact emails are visible, reducing attack surface. The cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. Lack of a published incident response contact or security.txt file limits transparency in vulnerability handling. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from modernizing libraries and enhancing header policies.

Recommendations

  1. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting by security researchers.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and performance to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mix of legacy and modern technologies, including an outdated jQuery version and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The HTML structure is valid with appropriate meta tags for SEO and accessibility. CSS stylesheets are well organized, and a Content Security Policy is implemented to upgrade insecure requests. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in mobile responsiveness and script modernization. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the domain is a government .gov.cz domain indicating official hosting. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
