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

The website mpo.gov.cz is the official portal of the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade (Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu). It serves as a comprehensive information and service platform for industry, trade, consumer protection, energy, construction, and related sectors within the Czech Republic. The ministry provides regulatory oversight, policy guidance, and support services to businesses, consumers, and government stakeholders. The site features extensive content including news, strategic documents, and sector-specific information, targeting a broad audience including businesses and the general public. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, Font Awesome for icons, and lightGallery for media display. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses a cookie consent mechanism with an opt-in approach, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and professional design. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers in the provided data. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration verification, but the official .gov.cz domain and consistent branding strongly support legitimacy. Privacy policies and GDPR compliance are well addressed. Overall, mpo.gov.cz demonstrates a strong security posture and high-quality content delivery suitable for a government entity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to further strengthen trust and security readiness.

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.

Priority findings

4 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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

MPO operates as a key government ministry with authoritative influence over Czech industrial and trade policies. Its market position is strong as a regulatory and support body for multiple sectors including energy, manufacturing, and consumer protection. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on policy implementation, information dissemination, and stakeholder engagement. The ministry's partnership ecosystem includes official government portals, trade promotion agencies, and regulatory bodies, enhancing its operational reach. Growth indicators include active communication of strategic initiatives and digital transformation efforts. The website's extensive content and official social media presence support transparency and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. No critical security headers were detected, indicating room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts suggests limited transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, and no outdated or vulnerable libraries were identified. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program limits external security collaboration. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add a security.txt file to enable coordinated vulnerability disclosure and improve security collaboration with external researchers.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Font Awesome for iconography. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and employs cookieconsent.js for privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes for improved usability. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in image loading and script management. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or government-managed platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. The site structure and navigation are clear and user-friendly, supporting a positive user experience.
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.
