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

The website represents the official online presence of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic, providing comprehensive information and services related to agriculture, forestry, food safety, water management, rural development, and animal protection. It serves a broad audience including farmers, government officials, and the general public interested in agricultural affairs. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and regularly updated news and press releases, reflecting a strong government communication channel. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and structured data markup to enhance search engine visibility. The content quality is good, with consistent branding and professional design. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML source and could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but likely due to registry policies for government domains. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture appropriate for a government portal. The overall risk assessment is low, with recommendations to enhance security headers, publish a formal security policy, and improve incident response contact visibility. The site is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a reliable source of official agricultural information in the Czech Republic.

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 holds a key position in the Czech government sector, overseeing agricultural policy, subsidies, food safety, and rural development. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive service offerings, including direct communication channels and links to affiliated organizations. The business model is public service-oriented, funded by the government, focusing on information dissemination and regulatory compliance. The target customers include farmers, agricultural businesses, policymakers, and citizens. Growth indicators include active news updates and event calendars. The partnership ecosystem is extensive, linking multiple government agencies and specialized institutes, enhancing its operational reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. The presence of cookie consent aligns with GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics tools is managed with consent, but continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in these scripts is recommended. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment suitable for a government portal but should adopt additional best practices to strengthen defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Ensure all forms have CSRF protection and validate inputs server-side to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance visibility of security contact information and data protection officer details to comply with GDPR and build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or proprietary CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as Keen Slider for UI components and Microsoft Clarity for user analytics. Google Tag Manager is used for managing tags and tracking scripts. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and script management. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. The technical infrastructure appears stable and suitable for a government portal, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.
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.
