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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 stable market position as a national branch of a respected international fiscal association. Its business model is membership-based, offering educational workshops, seminars, and research collaboration. The target audience includes tax professionals, academics, and government officials interested in international tax law. The website content and structure support these goals with clear statutes, membership information, and event announcements. Partnerships with academic institutions and tax chambers are evident through linked domains. Growth indicators include regular events and active member communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and session timeout mechanisms. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which is a gap in security transparency. Forms use standard input types but lack visible anti-CSRF tokens in the HTML. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be improved to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to provide vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata for better user experience and discoverability.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and update to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature JavaServer Faces framework with PrimeFaces UI components, supported by jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization. However, the absence of explicit security headers and limited SEO optimization suggest areas for technical improvement. The CMS platform webDOMU.cz appears custom and specialized for membership organizations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable 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.
