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

Národní akreditační úřad pro terciární vzdělávání is the official Czech national accreditation authority for tertiary education, established by law and transformed in 2025 from the previous National Accreditation Office for Higher Education. The organization operates as a public law entity with a clear mandate to accredit and oversee tertiary education programs in the Czech Republic. The website provides official information, documentation, and contact details primarily in Czech, targeting educational institutions and government stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap and common JavaScript libraries, delivering a moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and CSRF protections but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves a critical government function in education accreditation.

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

6 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 website represents a government entity with a focused business model on accreditation services in tertiary education. It holds a strong market position as the official accreditation authority in the Czech Republic. The organization benefits from government backing and legal mandates, which provide competitive advantage and legitimacy. The target audience includes universities, colleges, and government bodies involved in education quality assurance. The website content and external links reinforce its role and partnerships within the Czech education sector. No commercial revenue streams or marketing efforts are evident, consistent with its public service nature.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of older JavaScript libraries like MooTools could pose vulnerabilities if not regularly updated. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which limits transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking GDPR-related policies. Overall, the site is secure enough for informational purposes but could improve to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Update or replace legacy JavaScript libraries to reduce potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Consider integrating minimal analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and uses jQuery and MooTools JavaScript libraries. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome CDN. The HTML is well-structured with meta tags for content type and viewport. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and labels but no advanced features. SEO is basic with alternate hreflang links and RSS feeds but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. The site lacks modern security headers and advanced privacy features.
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.
