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

Agentura ochrany přírody a krajiny ČR (AOPK ČR) is the official Czech government agency responsible for nature protection and landscape management. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for public information, management of protected areas, and official communications related to environmental conservation. It targets a broad audience including the general public, environmental professionals, and government stakeholders. The agency manages 24 protected landscape areas and various national nature reserves and monuments, positioning itself as a key governmental entity in the Czech environmental sector. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and React components. The site is mobile-optimized and features a structured navigation system with clear content categories. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers are not explicitly detected. From a security and compliance perspective, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts GDPR compliance confidence. No explicit contact information for security incidents or data protection officers is found, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces transparency but is somewhat mitigated by the official government domain and consistent branding. Overall, the website is a professional and trustworthy government resource with good technical implementation and content quality. Strategic recommendations include adding comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, improving accessibility features, and publishing clear contact information for security and data protection matters.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

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

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

AOPK ČR operates as a government agency within the environmental protection sector in the Czech Republic. Its market position is authoritative and essential, managing a wide network of protected areas and providing regulatory and educational services. The business model is non-commercial, funded by the state, focusing on conservation and public service. The website links to multiple related government and environmental institutions, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include digital presence expansion with multilingual support and interactive content. The agency's operations are critical for national environmental policy implementation and public engagement in nature conservation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts loaded. The lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies and absence of incident response contact details indicate compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR and NIS2 directives. The site does not appear to use extensive user tracking or analytics, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalizing policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer contact to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and update them to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, and React for frontend components. The use of Slick Slider and Clay CSS indicates a modern UI approach. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in resource loading and caching. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and landmarks but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security headers are missing which is a technical risk.
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.
