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

The RIS3 website is an official government platform managed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, focusing on the national smart specialisation strategy for research and innovation. It serves as a comprehensive resource for stakeholders interested in regional and national innovation priorities, providing strategy documents, news, events, and partner information. The site targets researchers, policymakers, and innovation communities within the Czech Republic and the EU. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 with modern JavaScript libraries for calendar and UI components, and it integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and follows good SEO practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent mechanisms, and secures user login forms, though it lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to CZ NIC policies, but the domain's .gov.cz TLD and content strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with good security and privacy compliance, suitable for its governmental function.

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

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Security headers

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 RIS3 platform positions itself as a key governmental resource for innovation policy in the Czech Republic, leveraging partnerships with national agencies like TACR, CzechInvest, and TC Prague. Its business model is non-commercial, focused on policy dissemination and stakeholder engagement. The site supports transparency and collaboration through public documents and events. The presence of Creative Commons licensing and official ministry branding enhances trust. The platform's growth indicators include active news updates and international cooperation events. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving European Commission bodies and regional innovation actors. Strategic observations suggest the platform is well-integrated into national innovation frameworks but could enhance user engagement by adding more interactive features and clearer contact channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure login forms. Cookie consent is implemented with opt-in mechanisms, aligning with GDPR requirements. No sensitive data leaks or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or a security.txt file limits transparency and readiness perception. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and external libraries is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve by publishing explicit security governance documents and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS, a modern and widely supported platform, ensuring maintainability and security. It integrates FullCalendar for event management and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature technical stack. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with responsive design and skip links for screen readers. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and external scripts. No hosting provider details were found, but the use of a government domain suggests hosting on official infrastructure. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts and the need for continuous security updates. Opportunities exist to enhance performance and implement advanced security headers explicitly.
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.
