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

The iMUP website serves as an academic and informational platform affiliated with Metropolitan University Prague, focusing on educational content, research activities, and international academic events. The site targets students, researchers, and academic partners, providing news, event information, and scholarly resources. The business model aligns with higher education and research services, positioning the university as a reputable institution in the Czech Republic with international collaborations. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript-based stack with integrations for analytics and advertising, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Adform retargeting. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, no explicit CMS or hosting provider details were identified. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust insights, but the website content and branding strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy, with moderate technical and security maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and WHOIS data availability would enhance trust and compliance.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

Metropolitan University Prague, through the iMUP platform, maintains a strong academic presence with a focus on international cooperation and research in security studies and related fields. The university leverages partnerships and student exchange programs to enhance its educational offerings. The business model is typical for a medium-sized educational institution, relying on tuition, research grants, and academic events. The website reflects a well-established brand with consistent messaging and active social media engagement. Growth indicators include recent academic events and international collaborations. The partnership ecosystem includes other universities and academic centers, supporting a robust educational network.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. Data protection practices appear aligned with GDPR, supported by a privacy policy and cookie banner. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not directly impact operational security. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data availability or ensure domain registration information is accessible to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a JavaScript-heavy front end with multiple third-party integrations for analytics, advertising, and social media. The presence of Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Adform retargeting scripts indicates a mature marketing and tracking infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and semantic HTML structure. Performance is moderate, with caching and minified assets evident. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and WHOIS transparency are notable risks. Opportunities exist to modernize security controls and improve metadata completeness for SEO and compliance.
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.
