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

8 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

      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

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 institute operates as a medium-sized public sector entity focused on government education and certification. Its business model relies on government funding and course fees, targeting public officials and employees in local and state administration. The organization benefits from exclusive legal mandates, enhancing its competitive advantage. Partnerships with hosting and web design providers support its digital presence. Growth indicators include a large number of annual students and courses offered. The institute maintains a strong reputation within its niche, supported by detailed course offerings, testimonials, and official affiliations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is implemented, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no published incident response or security policy, which limits transparency and preparedness. Forms include minimal anti-bot measures but lack advanced protections. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but could be improved with explicit cookie consent and data protection officer contact information. Overall, the security posture is sufficient for the site's purpose but could benefit from enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a clear cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information to increase trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with jQuery and a slider plugin for interactive content. Google Fonts are used for typography. Hosting is provided by a Czech hosting company. The site is moderately performant with responsive design elements but lacks advanced modern frameworks or platforms. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. There is room for modernization by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving accessibility compliance. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could be optimized for speed and security.
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.
