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

Povodí Ohře is a Czech state enterprise responsible for managing water resources, hydrological data, and infrastructure in the Ohře river basin. The organization provides essential services including reservoir management, water planning, and public information dissemination. The website serves as an official portal offering updates, employment opportunities, and contact information to the public and stakeholders. The company holds a stable market position as a government entity with a medium-sized operational scale, founded in 1999. Technically, the website is built on the Vismo CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates Google services like Analytics and reCAPTCHA for security and user tracking. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a clear navigation structure and consistent branding. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs Google reCAPTCHA on forms, and provides a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact are absent, representing areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, and the domain registration data aligns well with the business, supporting high legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong security posture and good privacy compliance, with professional content and trustworthy business information. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen trust 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

7 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

Povodí Ohře operates as a government-owned water management entity serving the Ohře river basin in the Czech Republic. Its business model centers on public service provision, including water resource management, hydrological monitoring, and regulatory compliance. The organization targets government bodies, environmental professionals, and the general public. The website supports transparency and engagement through news updates, job postings, and contact channels. The company benefits from a long-established domain and consistent branding, reinforcing its authoritative market position. Partnerships with web service providers like WEBHOUSE and Vismo CMS indicate a stable digital ecosystem. Growth indicators include active social media presence and regular content updates. No commercial revenue streams or affiliate partnerships are evident, consistent with its public sector nature.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse on forms. Cookie consent is managed with granular user controls, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency for vulnerability reporting. No security.txt file was found, which is a recommended best practice. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided content. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a government informational site but could be enhanced by adopting additional headers and formal security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing transparency on data retention policies and security certifications if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform (Vismo) with a technology stack comprising HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google services for analytics and bot protection. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare, providing DNS and CDN services that enhance performance and security. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA landmarks. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta viewport tags, and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred execution where applicable. The site uses Google Translate integration for multilingual support. Technical debt appears low, but modernization opportunities include adopting modern security headers and improving incident response transparency.
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.
