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

Správa železnic is a Czech state organization responsible for managing the national railway infrastructure. The website serves multiple audiences including passengers, suppliers, carriers, and contractors, providing comprehensive information about projects, services, and organizational structure. It holds a significant market position as the primary railway infrastructure manager in the Czech Republic. The site is well-branded and professionally maintained, reflecting its government entity status. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay CMS platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Unite Gallery. It integrates analytics tools including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for user tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, although accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and includes important security headers. It publicly documents its cybersecurity policies and incident response capabilities, including a CSIRT team. However, the absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file is noted. WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits domain registration trust analysis, but the official domain and content suggest legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid security posture and compliance with GDPR, with clear contact and privacy information. The risk level is moderate due to missing WHOIS transparency and minor technical improvements needed. Strategic recommendations include implementing a vulnerability disclosure program, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining updated domain registration information.

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 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

    • 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

Správa železnic operates as a large government entity managing railway infrastructure in the Czech Republic. Its business model focuses on infrastructure management, project execution, and coordination with various stakeholders such as carriers and suppliers. The organization benefits from its exclusive role in the national railway sector, supported by government funding and regulatory frameworks. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content and multiple service portals, indicating a well-established operational ecosystem. Partnerships with government agencies and EU funding programs are evident. The company targets a broad audience including passengers, contractors, and governmental bodies, emphasizing transparency and public service. Growth indicators include ongoing modernization projects and digital transformation initiatives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and documented cybersecurity policies aligned with ISO 27001 standards. The availability of a dedicated CSIRT team and SOC indicates readiness for incident response. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file represents a gap in transparency and community engagement for security issues. Cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR compliance are implemented, though privacy practices could be further detailed. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from enhanced openness and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to improve transparency and community trust.
  2. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve usability for all users.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party JavaScript libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Improve cookie consent transparency by providing detailed information on data retention and third-party sharing.
  5. Update and maintain WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Unite Gallery for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes important security headers. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The extensive navigation structure supports a wide range of content and user needs. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but continuous modernization is recommended to maintain performance and security.
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.
