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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

The platform occupies a niche market focused on political finance transparency in the Czech Republic, leveraging public data to provide insights into political party funding. Its non-profit business model is supported by civic alliances and government transparency initiatives. The target audience includes journalists, researchers, and engaged citizens. The website's partnership ecosystem includes related Datlab projects and institutes, enhancing its credibility and reach. The platform's growth potential lies in expanding data coverage and improving compliance with privacy regulations. Revenue streams are likely limited to grants and donations given its non-profit status. The organization maintains a consistent brand and professional content, reinforcing its market position as a trusted transparency resource.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial informational site but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to enhance transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics to minimize tracking and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js) and Bootstrap for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and user experience. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. Hosting is provided by Wedos, a reputable Czech hosting provider. The site structure is clear with proper meta tags for SEO. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles present but no advanced features. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance to reduce technical risks.
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.
