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

Start Driving is a Czech Republic-based educational project focused on enhancing the knowledge, responsibility, and driving skills of novice drivers. Supported by the Association of Driving Schools of the Czech Republic and other partners including government bodies, the project offers free advanced driver training and educational activities for young drivers, driving instructors, and responsible parents. The website reflects a well-structured initiative with strong institutional backing and a clear mission to improve road safety through education. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and integrates modern tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and YouTube embeds. It implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements, although a dedicated privacy policy page is not clearly found. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. However, some security headers are missing, and the Google Maps API key is exposed in the source code, which should be reviewed for restrictions. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has no visible critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The cookie consent mechanism and partner trust signals enhance its compliance posture. The absence of WHOIS registrant data limits domain trust assessment but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the project's nature and partnerships. Overall, Start Driving presents a credible, well-supported educational platform with moderate technical maturity and good security practices. Strategic improvements in privacy policy transparency and security header implementation are recommended to enhance compliance and trust further.

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

9 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

Start Driving occupies a niche in the transportation and education sectors, focusing on road safety and driver training for young and novice drivers. Its business model is non-profit and partnership-driven, leveraging support from government agencies, police, and industry players like Škoda. The project targets young drivers aged 18-24, driving instructors, and parents, aiming to reduce accident risks through education. The presence of multiple regional training centers and collaboration with driving schools indicates a broad operational footprint within the Czech Republic. The website's content and partner ecosystem reflect a mature and trusted initiative with potential for growth in driver safety education and mentoring programs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The exposure of the Google Maps API key in the HTML source without visible restrictions poses a risk of unauthorized usage. No forms or input fields on the main page reduce attack surface, but ongoing monitoring of third-party scripts is advisable. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for enhancements in headers and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Restrict Google Maps API key usage to authorized domains and monitor for abuse.
  4. Document and publish incident response and security policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies and third-party integrations such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and YouTube embeds. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and assets. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates attention to privacy compliance. The Google Maps integration currently fails to load properly due to API key or configuration issues, which should be addressed to improve user experience. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
