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

The website www.sn-cz2020.eu represents a government-backed EU cooperation program between the Free State of Saxony and the Czech Republic for the 2014-2020 funding period. It provides information about cross-border cooperation projects funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The site targets public administration and project partners in the region, offering program news, project lists, and contact information. The business model is focused on regional development and EU fund management, positioning it as a small but important government entity within the regional cooperation sector. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including JavaScript libraries like Modernizr and RequireJS, and employs Piwik (Matomo) analytics hosted on a government domain. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, with good accessibility and basic SEO features. Security posture is moderate; no HTTPS status was confirmed from the data, and no security headers were detected, but no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. WHOIS data is privacy protected and incomplete, which is common for such public program domains. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe, with no adult or questionable content. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, confirming HTTPS usage, implementing cookie consent, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies.

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 in the government sector, focusing on EU-funded cross-border cooperation between Saxony and the Czech Republic. It leverages EU structural funds to support regional development projects, targeting public institutions and regional partners. The website serves as an informational and communication platform rather than a commercial business. Its market position is stable within the EU regional development framework, with partnerships including Interreg and successor programs. The business model is grant and project funding oriented, with no direct revenue generation from the website. Growth indicators include transition to a new funding period (2021-2027) with a dedicated new website. The partnership ecosystem includes EU bodies and regional authorities. The site’s content and structure reflect a professional government communication channel.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses a reputable analytics platform hosted on a government domain. However, the absence of visible HTTPS confirmation and security headers reduces the security score. No forms on the main page reduce attack surface but also limit user interaction. There is no public incident response or security policy information, which is a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. The security culture appears basic but could be improved with explicit policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Ensure HTTPS is enforced and visible to users to improve trust and security.
  2. Implement and display security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional HTML structure with JavaScript enhancements via Modernizr and RequireJS. Analytics is handled by Piwik (Matomo) hosted on a government domain, indicating data privacy awareness. The site is mirrored using HTTrack, suggesting offline archival or backup. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. No CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. The lack of security headers and unknown SSL status are technical risks. The site structure and navigation are clear and consistent, supporting good usability. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist, especially in security and privacy 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.
