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

The Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials (RCPTM) is a research institute based in the Czech Republic specializing in nanotechnology and advanced materials research. The website presents a professional and content-rich platform showcasing scientific publications, news, and events, targeting researchers, academic collaborators, and industry partners. The business model focuses on research, technology development, and providing analytic services and patented technologies. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and is optimized for mobile devices, offering a fast and accessible user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and explicit policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern for domain legitimacy verification, though the website content and affiliations appear credible. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with room for improvement in security transparency and contact accessibility.

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. 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

  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

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

RCPTM holds a strong position in the nanotechnology research sector, affiliated with Palacký University and CATRIN. It leverages its scientific output and patented technologies to engage with academic and industrial stakeholders. The website reflects a medium-sized research entity with a focus on innovation and collaboration. The presence of partner domains such as CATRIN and Palacký University supports its credibility. Revenue streams likely include research grants, analytic services, and technology licensing. The organization maintains active social media channels to enhance outreach. Strategic observations suggest strengthening domain registration transparency and publishing comprehensive security and incident response policies to bolster trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact details highlight gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate with opportunities to enhance transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.4.7 with jQuery and modern libraries such as CookieConsent and Instant.page for performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive, fast-loading, and well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO considerations. The use of a cookie consent plugin indicates compliance with privacy regulations. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were observed. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The site could benefit from enhanced security headers and improved accessibility features to further modernize the technical infrastructure.
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.
