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

The website podporapodniku.gov.cz is an official Czech government portal operated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu - MPO). It serves as an interactive search tool for entrepreneurs to find business support programs tailored to their company's age, size, location, and support area. The portal targets Czech entrepreneurs and SMEs, providing a centralized resource for funding, innovation, and development support. The site is well-branded with official logos and European Union co-financing indicators, enhancing trust and legitimacy. Technically, the website uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Select2, and Tiny Slider, and is built on the cms3.nux.cz content management system. The site is mobile responsive and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and privacy and cookie policies are not present or visible, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security transparency. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure form validation, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were found, and the site is fully accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration insights, but the official nature and trust signals of the site mitigate concerns. Overall, the site is a credible, government-backed resource with good business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include adding comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, implementing security headers, and publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response information to enhance security posture and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

8 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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

The portal occupies a unique position as a government service facilitating access to business support programs in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of support areas such as circular economy, digitalization, energy, infrastructure, and innovation. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on providing information rather than direct commercial transactions. Revenue streams are likely government-funded. The target customers are entrepreneurs and SMEs across all Czech regions. Growth indicators include continuous updates and integration with Ministry of Industry and Trade initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes the European Union and regional authorities. The site’s operations reflect a strategic focus on supporting economic development and innovation within the Czech business community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form validation. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, indicating gaps in transparency and readiness. The absence of tracking and analytics reduces privacy risks but also limits monitoring capabilities. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contact to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in the CMS and third-party libraries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO further to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Select2 for enhanced select inputs, and Tiny Slider for carousel functionality. The CMS is cms3.nux.cz, a Czech content management system. The site loads external CSS and JS resources from its own domain, indicating self-hosting or government hosting infrastructure. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set. However, no advanced frameworks or backend technologies are identifiable from the HTML. The lack of security headers and privacy policies suggests technical debt in compliance and security areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
