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

The website https://mzd.gov.cz/ is the official online presence of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic, serving as a comprehensive portal for public health information, healthcare legislation, and government services. It targets the general public, healthcare professionals, and government officials, providing up-to-date news, policy documents, and resources related to health and safety. The site is well-branded with consistent government identity and includes official social media channels for outreach. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with modern libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap, ensuring responsive design and accessibility. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking and performance monitoring, alongside a Google Custom Search Engine for internal content search. The site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, though it lacks some recommended security headers, presenting an opportunity for enhanced security hardening. From a security and compliance perspective, the site includes a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy page, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. However, there is no visible security.txt or incident response contact information, and WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits full domain legitimacy verification. Despite this, the .gov.cz domain and official content strongly support the site's authenticity. Overall, the site is professionally maintained with good content quality and user experience. Security posture is solid but could be improved with additional headers and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but likely due to registry policies rather than malicious intent. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response details, and adding a security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

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.

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 Health of the Czech Republic operates as a key government entity responsible for national health policy, public health protection, and healthcare system oversight. Its website serves as a central communication channel for disseminating official information, managing public health programs, and supporting healthcare professionals. The ministry's market position is authoritative and essential within the government sector, with no direct commercial competition. Revenue streams are government-funded, focusing on public service rather than profit. The site links to various government and health-related domains, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active updates on COVID-19 and health initiatives, reflecting responsiveness to public needs. The ministry's operations emphasize transparency, accessibility, and compliance with legal frameworks such as GDPR.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data detected. The presence of cookie consent aligns with privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder timely reporting and resolution of security issues. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook SDK introduces potential privacy and security risks if not regularly audited. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information and security policies on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security and privacy risks.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data visibility or provide official domain registration information to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform (version 6.8.2) with a well-structured theme and use of Bootstrap for responsive design. It leverages jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google services for analytics and search functionality. The site loads scripts asynchronously where possible, improving performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, including skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter Card metadata. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization by reducing third-party script load and enhancing caching. The technical stack is stable and suitable for a government information portal, with opportunities to improve security and performance further.
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.
