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

The website www.sn-cz2020.eu serves as an informational portal for the EU-funded cooperation program between the Free State of Saxony and the Czech Republic for the 2014-2020 funding period. It primarily targets public sector entities and project partners involved in cross-border collaboration. The site provides program details, project listings, and links to successor programs. Technically, the site uses standard JavaScript libraries including Piwik for analytics and Modernizr for feature detection, with a custom or unknown CMS. The site is moderately optimized for performance and accessibility but lacks advanced mobile responsiveness and SEO features. Security posture is moderate with no explicit HTTPS or security headers detected in the provided data, and no cookie consent mechanism is present, indicating room for improvement in privacy compliance. The domain registration aligns well with the program's governmental nature and regional focus, supporting high legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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 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 program operates as a government-funded initiative promoting regional cooperation between Saxony and the Czech Republic, leveraging EU structural funds. Its market position is that of a niche public sector program with a clear target audience of regional authorities and project partners. The business model revolves around grant funding and information dissemination rather than commercial transactions. The partnership ecosystem includes EU bodies such as Interreg and regional authorities. Growth indicators are limited due to the fixed funding period, but the presence of a successor program indicates continuity. The website supports transparency and stakeholder engagement but lacks direct contact details on the main page, relying on subpages for communication.

Security posture

Security maturity is basic to moderate. The absence of visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers reduces the security score. No forms or user input fields are present on the main page, minimizing attack surface. The use of Piwik analytics hosted on a government domain reduces third-party tracking risks. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited security governance transparency. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS across the entire website to ensure secure data transmission.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with JavaScript libraries including Modernizr and RequireJS, and Piwik for analytics. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is basic with minimal meta descriptions and keywords. Accessibility features such as skip links are present but could be improved. Hosting appears to be managed by a government or regional authority infrastructure, which may limit flexibility but enhances trust. There is no evidence of modern frameworks like React or Angular, indicating a traditional web architecture.
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.
