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

Metodické centrum is a Czech government-affiliated organization specializing in the preparation, coordination, and methodological guidance of therapeutic programs for drivers. It operates under the legal framework of Czech road traffic law and is part of the Centre for Transport Research. The website targets drivers required to attend these programs, lecturers, and related professionals, providing information, registration access, and educational resources. The site is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content relevance, supporting its official role. Technically, the website is built using modern technologies such as Gatsby and React, with Google reCAPTCHA v3 implemented for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though some accessibility improvements could be made. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit security headers and published incident response policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits domain registration trust verification. However, the website's content, official references, and contact information strongly indicate legitimacy. No signs of blocking or WAF interference were detected, allowing full content analysis. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security and privacy compliance posture appropriate for a government-related entity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, improving accessibility, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel to further strengthen 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

9 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"

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

Metodické centrum holds a unique position as the national methodological center for therapeutic driver programs in the Czech Republic, operating under the Centre for Transport Research. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on regulatory compliance and public safety through mandated therapeutic programs. The organization benefits from government backing, which provides competitive advantage and market authority. Revenue streams are likely government-funded or regulated. The target customers include drivers mandated by law to attend programs, lecturers requiring certification, and judicial or administrative bodies overseeing compliance. The website supports growth by providing educational resources and program registration. Partnerships with government entities and legal frameworks reinforce its operational ecosystem. The organization's market presence is stable and specialized, with limited direct competition due to its official status.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protecting forms against spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, and privacy policies are comprehensive and accessible. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure channel limits external reporting capabilities. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for a government-affiliated site but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Establish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure process to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries or components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern static site generator framework, Gatsby, leveraging React for UI components. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site is well-structured with responsive design principles, ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with efficient image loading techniques such as responsive images and lazy loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and sitemap inclusion. However, no CMS is detected, indicating content updates may require developer intervention. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern and maintainable but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and security header implementation to reduce technical risks.
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.
