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

Institut pro veřejnou správu Praha is a Czech state contributory organization established by the Ministry of the Interior, specializing in education and qualification verification for public administration officials. The institution offers a broad portfolio of courses, exams, and training programs focused on specialized professional competencies and eGovernment. It operates a modern educational center in Benešov and maintains international cooperation projects. The website reflects a mature organization with a clear mission and target audience primarily composed of government employees and officials. Technically, the website employs a custom CMS with jQuery and related plugins, hosted by a Czech hosting provider. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices and clear navigation. However, it lacks some modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a gap. The domain WHOIS data confirms legitimacy with a long registration history consistent with the institution's profile. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its public sector educational purpose well, though improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency are recommended.

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

  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

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 Institut pro veřejnou správu Praha holds a strong position as a government-affiliated educational institution in the Czech Republic, focusing on public administration training and certification. Its competitive advantage lies in its official mandate to verify specialized competencies and its extensive course offerings. Revenue streams likely include course fees and government funding. The target customers are municipal and state officials, as well as public administration employees. The institution demonstrates growth through international cooperation and digital learning initiatives. Partnerships with hosting and web design providers support its digital presence. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy compliance and security communication to align with evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security or incident response policy reduce its security posture. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or security.txt files. GDPR compliance is partially met with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalizing policies and improving transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR cookie requirements.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security documentation to maintain compliance and build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with jQuery and wsSlider plugins for UI components. Google Fonts are used for typography. Hosting is provided by Český hosting, a Czech hosting provider, consistent with the institution's location. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal. Technical risks include lack of security headers and missing privacy consent mechanisms, which could impact compliance and user trust.
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.
