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

The website represents the official online presence of the Státní ústav pro kontrolu léčiv (SÚKL), the Czech State Institute for Drug Control. It serves as a comprehensive information portal for the public, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders, providing regulatory information, drug databases, safety alerts, and educational resources. The site is well-positioned as a national healthcare regulatory authority with a strong focus on compliance and public safety. Technically, the site is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with integration of popular tools such as Google Tag Manager and Yoast SEO, ensuring good SEO and analytics capabilities. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and performance, although some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy aligned with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent but lacks a publicly visible security policy or incident response contact. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to registry privacy policies common for government domains, but the domain's .gov.cz TLD and consistent branding strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the website is a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained government resource with strong content quality and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to further strengthen security posture.

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, specifically overseeing drug control and safety in the Czech Republic. Its market position is authoritative and essential, serving multiple audiences including the general public, healthcare workers, and pharmaceutical industry players. The business model is non-commercial, focused on regulatory compliance, public safety, and information dissemination. Revenue streams are likely government-funded. The organization maintains partnerships with European health agencies and integrates with national e-health systems such as eRecept. Growth indicators include frequent updates and expanding digital services. The partnership ecosystem includes EU health portals and national healthcare IT systems.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent mechanism that respects GDPR. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not publish an incident response or security policy publicly. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is transparent and consent-based. Compliance with privacy regulations is evident, but incident response readiness and security culture could be improved by publishing relevant policies and contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact details and data processing practices.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy focusing on continuous compliance with evolving regulations such as NIS2.

  2. Comprehensive content with frequent updates
  3. Strong privacy and cookie consent implementation
  4. No WHOIS data available publicly, likely due to privacy or registry policy
  5. No security policy or incident response contact published

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.5.2 with jQuery and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The Yoast SEO plugin is employed for SEO optimization. The site loads multiple custom fonts and scripts asynchronously to improve performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed with responsive design and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and resource optimization. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and updated third-party integrations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
