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

SPIR (Sdružení pro internetový rozvoj v České Republice) is a prominent industry association representing key players in the Czech online economy. The organization supports growth in the online industry, advocates for fair competition, and contributes to the development of meaningful digital legislation. It operates important projects such as NetMonitor, the official measurement of Czech internet traffic, and AdMonitoring, which tracks online advertising expenditures. The website reflects a mature and professional digital presence with comprehensive content and active engagement with its members and the public. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Oxygen Builder framework, incorporating modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Fonts, and reputable analytics tools like Google Analytics and Gemius. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a good user experience. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent management, though some security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site shows a solid posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy, though the professional nature of the site mitigates this risk. Overall, SPIR's website is a trustworthy and authoritative source for information about the Czech online industry, with strong compliance to privacy regulations and a clear focus on industry advocacy and service provision. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving domain registration transparency.

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

8 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

  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

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

SPIR holds a leading position as an essential industry association within the Czech online economy, representing a broad spectrum of members including publishers, agencies, and AdTech providers. Its business model centers on advocacy, market measurement, and self-regulation, generating revenue through membership and project services. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with major media and technology companies, enhancing its influence and market reach.

The association's ecosystem includes projects like NetMonitor and AdMonitoring, which are critical for market transparency and advertising effectiveness. Strategic observations highlight SPIR's role as a key stakeholder in shaping digital legislation and market standards in the Czech Republic.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of consent management tools aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests limited formal mechanisms for external security reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic testing to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Oxygen Builder framework, which allows for flexible and responsive design. It leverages popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for UI components like carousels. Google Fonts are used for typography, ensuring consistent branding. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Gemius, with cookie consent managed by the Complianz GDPR plugin. Performance is moderate, with preconnect and preload hints for external resources. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
