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

The website redop.cz serves as the official Czech government information system for the Registry of Associate Professors, Professors, and Extraordinary Professors at higher education institutions. It is managed by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic and provides a centralized platform for managing academic personnel data, supporting accreditation processes, and statistical reporting. The site targets academic institutions, government bodies, and educational providers, offering essential services for compliance with Czech higher education laws. Technically, the site is built on a legacy ASP.NET WebForms platform using DevExpress controls, hosted likely by Active24. The infrastructure is functional but shows signs of aging with basic mobile optimization and limited modern web practices. Performance is moderate, and SEO and accessibility features are basic. The site does not employ common modern tracking or advertising technologies, reflecting its government service nature. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and standard ASP.NET security features but lacks modern HTTP security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Password inputs are properly masked, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. The privacy policy is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with a named Data Protection Officer and clear data handling practices. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the WHOIS data aligns well with the official nature of the site. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained for its purpose but would benefit from modernization of its technical stack and enhanced security headers and privacy features to improve user trust and compliance with evolving standards.

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.

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

Redop.cz operates as a government-run academic registry system, positioning itself as an essential infrastructure for Czech higher education compliance and administration. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and integration with national legislation and accreditation authorities. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public administration and data management. Revenue streams are government-funded. The target customers are universities, higher education providers, and government agencies. Growth indicators include regular updates to data collection standards and system enhancements. The partnership ecosystem includes the Ministry of Education and external hosting providers. Strategic observations highlight the need for technical modernization and enhanced user experience to maintain relevance and security.

Security posture

The security posture of redop.cz is moderate. The site employs HTTPS and standard ASP.NET security mechanisms but lacks advanced HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. The login form uses secure password input fields, and no sensitive data leakage was observed. GDPR compliance is well documented with a named Data Protection Officer and clear data processing policies. However, the absence of cookie consent and modern security headers presents compliance and security gaps. Incident response contact channels are not explicitly provided. The site shows no signs of malware or phishing. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could be significantly improved with modern best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  3. Modernize the technology stack to a more current web framework to improve performance, security, and maintainability.
  4. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve transparency and security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with DevExpress controls, indicating a legacy but stable technology stack. Hosting is likely provided by Active24, consistent with WHOIS data. The site uses standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no modern frontend frameworks detected. Performance is moderate with no evident optimizations for mobile or SEO beyond basic meta tags. The site lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. There is no evidence of third-party analytics or advertising scripts, reflecting a privacy-conscious government service. Technical debt is present due to legacy technology, suggesting opportunities for modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
