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

The Hasičský záchranný sbor České republiky (Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic) is a government agency responsible for protecting lives, health, and property from fires and other emergencies. It operates under the Ministry of the Interior and coordinates integrated rescue efforts across the country. The website serves as an official information portal providing news, public safety advice, organizational details, and educational resources. It targets Czech residents, emergency responders, and government officials. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics, with a focus on accessibility and compliance with GDPR through cookie consent and privacy policies. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and Content Security Policy headers, though some improvements are recommended such as updating legacy libraries and adding additional security headers. The domain WHOIS data is not publicly available, likely due to registry privacy policies, but the domain is a trusted government domain (.gov.cz) with consistent branding and content. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves an essential public safety function.

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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

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

  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"

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 authority for fire rescue and civil protection in the Czech Republic. Its business model is government-funded public service, focusing on emergency response, prevention, and education. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integration of social media and public communication channels. Partnerships with other government agencies and emergency services are evident through linked domains. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data is typical for government domains and does not detract from credibility. The site’s content and structure indicate a large, well-established entity with multiple subsidiaries and educational institutions under its umbrella.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy header. The presence of cookie consent aligns with privacy regulations. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version presents a potential vulnerability vector. Additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and HSTS are absent and recommended to enhance protection against clickjacking and downgrade attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not explicitly published on the site, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government site but could benefit from modernization and expanded security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and HSTS.
  3. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and performance for better user experience across devices.
  5. Maintain and regularly review privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery 1.1.3.1, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics for tracking. CSS stylesheets follow the gov.cz design standards, ensuring consistent branding. The site is served over HTTPS with a Content Security Policy enforcing upgrade of insecure requests. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and modern JavaScript usage. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident from the HTML. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus and accessible content. Technical debt is indicated by legacy jQuery usage and lack of some modern security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's mission but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
