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

Státní plavební správa is the Czech Republic's official government authority responsible for inland waterway navigation, regulation, and safety. It provides key services including issuance of vessel and personnel documents, supervision of waterway safety, and dissemination of regulatory information. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for stakeholders such as vessel operators and professionals in inland navigation, offering up-to-date news, legal documents, and electronic services. The site is linked closely with the Ministry of Transport and other related government bodies, reinforcing its authoritative position in the sector. Technically, the website is built on PHP with phpSQLiteCMS and uses Bootstrap 3.3.5 for responsive design. It employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks modern security headers. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a clear navigation structure, though some accessibility features are basic. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it could improve by implementing security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but likely due to registry policies rather than malicious intent. Overall, the site maintains a strong trust profile as a government entity. The overall risk assessment is low, with recommendations focusing on enhancing security headers, privacy consent mechanisms, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies. These improvements would further solidify the site's compliance and security posture while maintaining its role as a trusted government resource.

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

10 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

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

Státní plavební správa operates as a government regulatory agency within the transportation sector, specifically focusing on inland waterway navigation in the Czech Republic. Its market position is that of a national authority, supported by the Ministry of Transport. The agency's business model centers on regulatory oversight, document issuance, and safety enforcement rather than commercial revenue generation. Its target customers include vessel operators, waterway users, and professionals requiring official documentation and compliance information. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integration to related government portals and electronic services, indicating ongoing digital transformation efforts. Partnerships with other government bodies and international organizations enhance its operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous updates to regulations and expansion of electronic services. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining trust and compliance in a regulated environment.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The absence of modern security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries with known security issues were detected, and the site avoids unnecessary tracking scripts, reducing privacy risks. The lack of explicit incident response contact information and security policies suggests room to enhance transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from adopting additional security best practices and formalizing incident response communications to align with modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and CMS components to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a PHP-based CMS (phpSQLiteCMS) with Bootstrap 3.3.5 and jQuery, indicating a stable but somewhat dated technology stack. The site is mobile responsive and uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected but potential for optimization exists. SEO is basic, with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility is basic, with some support for screen readers and mobile devices but lacking advanced ARIA roles or landmarks. The site does not use modern JavaScript frameworks or CDNs for assets, which could improve load times and scalability. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's functional requirements but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
