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

Francouzský institut v Praze is a well-established cultural and educational institution dedicated to promoting French language and culture in the Czech Republic. The website offers a broad range of services including language courses, certifications, cultural events, and educational cooperation programs. It targets students, professionals, educators, and cultural enthusiasts. The institution maintains an active online presence with multiple social media channels and provides clear contact information and privacy policies, reflecting a commitment to transparency and user privacy. Technically, the website uses a modern technology stack including Angular, jQuery, Bootstrap, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, some security best practices such as implementing security headers are missing, and the absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but improvements are recommended in security headers and explicit terms of service. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive GDPR policy and cookie management. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its educational and cultural mission effectively. The main risk lies in the lack of WHOIS transparency which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing terms of service, and verifying domain registration details to improve legitimacy 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

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"

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 Francouzský institut v Praze operates primarily in the education and cultural sectors, functioning as a non-profit entity promoting French language and culture. Its market position is strong within Prague and the Czech Republic, leveraging partnerships such as the French Embassy. The business model focuses on language education, certification services, cultural programming, and educational cooperation, targeting a diverse audience from students to professionals. Revenue streams likely include course fees, event tickets, and membership cards. The institute demonstrates growth through active event programming and digital engagement. Its partnership ecosystem includes cultural and educational organizations, enhancing its reach and credibility. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining digital trust and compliance to support its mission and stakeholder confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is evident through a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie management. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the institution's profile but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish explicit terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and user experience.
  5. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve legitimacy and reduce suspicion related to missing WHOIS data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern and diverse technology stack including Angular 9.1.13, jQuery, Bootstrap, and Slick Carousel for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Google Maps API for location services. The presence of an extranet web application indicates additional backend integration. Performance appears moderate with no critical loading issues detected. However, the lack of detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform, which may require dedicated maintenance. Technical debt is not evident but could arise from reliance on multiple third-party scripts. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and improve SEO and accessibility compliance to enhance overall technical maturity.
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.
