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

The website mpo.gov.cz represents the official online presence of the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade (Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu). It serves as a comprehensive portal providing information and services related to industry, trade, energy, consumer protection, construction, and foreign trade within the Czech Republic. The site targets businesses, government entities, and the general public, offering regulatory guidance, news updates, and support programs. The ministry holds a strong market position as a key government entity responsible for economic sectors critical to national development. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, Font Awesome icons, and lightGallery for media display. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR standards. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. Performance is moderate, with no major technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent with an opt-in model, reflecting good privacy practices. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of WHOIS data is notable but likely due to registry policies rather than malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing security policies. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site appearing trustworthy and professionally maintained. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, and improving direct contact information for security matters. These steps would further strengthen trust and compliance with best practices.

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

The Ministry of Industry and Trade operates as a government agency with a mandate to regulate and support multiple economic sectors including energy, manufacturing, trade, and consumer protection. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on policy implementation, regulatory oversight, and public communication. The ministry leverages partnerships with other government bodies and agencies such as CzechTrade and CzechInvest to extend its reach and effectiveness. The website content and linked domains indicate a well-established ecosystem supporting Czech businesses and consumers. Growth indicators include active news updates, strategic initiatives like the National Recovery Plan, and engagement in international trade matters. The ministry's operations are critical to national economic strategy and EU compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were observed in the HTML content. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which is a common best practice for government sites. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security culture and incident preparedness by publishing relevant policies and contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information with explicit security and abuse reporting emails.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack centered around Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. Font Awesome provides iconography, and lightGallery enhances media presentation. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, integrated with a cookie consent banner that respects user privacy preferences. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes for navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with a 5-second carousel interval and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or government-managed platform. Hosting provider details are not available from the data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and security header enhancements.
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.
