QCM is a Czech Republic-based IT company specializing in digital solutions for public procurement management and electronic communication. Established in 2001, it has developed a suite of software products and services used by major public institutions and private entities involved in public procurement. The company offers products such as E-ZAK, PVU, Qlex, and Portál dodavatele, alongside training, administration, and legal advisory services. Their market position is strong within the Czech public sector, supported by a medium-sized team and a large client base exceeding 15,700 users. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and uses HTTPS with reCAPTCHA for form security. The CMS appears to be Puxdesign, indicating a custom or specialized platform. SEO and accessibility are well implemented, contributing to a professional digital presence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses standard security measures such as CAPTCHA and cookie consent banners. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with a clear GDPR policy and cookie management. Overall, QCM presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a mature business model focused on government digitalization. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms 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.

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

6 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

    • High

    • 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

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

Business profile

QCM holds a solid market position in the Czech Republic as a specialized provider of public procurement digitalization tools. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence since 2001, a comprehensive product portfolio tailored to public sector needs, and a strong client base. The business model revolves around software licensing, training, and consulting services. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, service contracts, and training fees. Target customers are government agencies, municipalities, and private companies engaged in public procurement. The company demonstrates growth through continuous innovation and partnerships with related platforms like E-ZAK and Portál dodavatele. The partnership ecosystem enhances its market reach and service integration. Operationally, QCM maintains a medium-sized team of experts and invests in digital marketing and analytics to optimize customer engagement.

Security posture

QCM exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of CAPTCHA on forms to prevent automated abuse. The presence of cookie consent and GDPR compliance indicates attention to privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. No incident response or security contact information is published, which may delay response to security events. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is balanced with privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by adopting additional security best practices and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize data exposure.
  5. Enhance transparency and trust by adding terms of service and expanding legal documentation accessible from the website.

The site is mobile responsive, fast loading, and well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO optimizations. Forms use Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention.

Opportunities exist to improve security headers and expand legal and security documentation to reduce technical risks and improve compliance.
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.
