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

NPI ČR holds a strong market position as a national educational institute with government backing. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service through educational program development, teacher training, and regional support. The target audience includes educators, school leaders, and pedagogical professionals. The institute's partnerships with related domains and projects enhance its ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with consistent branding and comprehensive service offerings, indicating medium organizational size and stable operations since 2010.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA v3, and cookie consent mechanisms. Analytics and tracking are implemented with user privacy in mind. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security culture appears responsible but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to minimize risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts or channels to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve privacy compliance, especially regarding data retention and user consent management.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with Bootstrap 5 and jQuery 3.7.1, indicating a modern but stable technology stack. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools asynchronously to optimize performance. The hosting provider is Forpsi, a known Czech hosting service. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and rich content. Technical debt appears low, but continuous modernization and security updates are recommended to maintain operational integrity.
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.
