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

Státní ústav pro kontrolu léčiv (SÚKL) is the official Czech government authority responsible for the regulation and control of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The website serves as a comprehensive information portal targeting the general public, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders. It offers key services such as drug databases, pharmacovigilance, educational events, and regulatory updates, positioning itself as a critical national healthcare regulator. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar. The site demonstrates good digital maturity with SEO optimization, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility features. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring a detailed privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and GDPR adherence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy or registry policies common for government domains, but the domain and content strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with minor recommendations to enhance security posture and transparency. It poses low risk and effectively supports its regulatory mission.

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.

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

SÚKL operates as a government regulatory body in the healthcare sector, focusing on pharmaceuticals and medical devices within the Czech Republic. Its market position is authoritative and essential, providing regulatory oversight and public information. The business model is service-oriented, funded by the government, with no commercial sales. The target customers include healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and the public. The website's extensive content and integration with external government and EU resources indicate strong partnerships and compliance with European regulations. Growth indicators include active updates, educational seminars, and open data initiatives. The organization maintains a consistent brand and digital presence across multiple social media platforms.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, it lacks some advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. No security.txt or explicit incident response information is published, which could improve vulnerability disclosure and incident handling transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security framework documentation and header implementation to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed possibly by optimizing scripts and leveraging caching. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience.
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.
