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

The website represents the official portal of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic, serving as a comprehensive information hub for agriculture, forestry, food safety, rural development, and related government services. It targets farmers, agricultural professionals, media, and the general public interested in agricultural policies and developments within the Czech Republic. The site offers news, official announcements, access to government services, and links to affiliated organizations, establishing itself as an authoritative government resource. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. It uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and content clarity. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and demonstrates good SEO practices. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses nonce attributes in scripts to mitigate injection risks. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present and should be verified and enhanced. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR and privacy standards. The lack of WHOIS data is typical for government domains and does not detract from the legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, continuous security audits, and ensuring robust form protections.

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

5 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 Agriculture operates as a key government entity in the Czech Republic, providing regulatory oversight, information dissemination, and support services for the agricultural sector. Its market position is authoritative, serving as the primary source for agricultural policy, subsidies, and rural development programs. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and governance. The website supports transparency and engagement with stakeholders through news, events, and contact channels. Partnerships with affiliated organizations strengthen its ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with digital services. The ministry leverages social media and digital analytics to enhance outreach and service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and use of nonce attributes in scripts to prevent cross-site scripting. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate awareness of data protection requirements. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and should be implemented or verified to enhance defense in depth. No signs of vulnerabilities, malware, or phishing were found. The site uses reputable analytics services with moderate user tracking balanced by privacy compliance. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident on the site and could be improved for transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Conduct regular security audits focusing on third-party scripts and form input validation.
  3. Enhance incident response transparency by publishing security contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies.
  4. Maintain and update cookie and privacy policies to reflect evolving GDPR requirements.
  5. Optimize website performance and loading speed to improve user experience and SEO.

Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset loading and caching. The site architecture supports clear navigation and content organization, facilitating user engagement and information discovery. Technical risks are minimal but continuous monitoring is advised to manage third-party dependencies.
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.
