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

Technologická agentura ČR is a Czech government agency established in 2009 to support research, experimental development, and innovation. It operates as a state organizational unit providing funding programs, competitions, and methodological support to researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs. The agency maintains a strong national presence with official government domain and multiple partner platforms supporting research administration and dissemination. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and targets stakeholders in the Czech research and innovation ecosystem. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and includes comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and some security best practices observed, though improvements in security headers and incident response documentation are recommended. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-maintained, though the absence of WHOIS data slightly reduces domain trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, and improving transparency in incident response.

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.

Priority findings

4 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

      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

The agency holds a key position in the Czech government's research funding landscape, offering structured programs such as SIGMA and Water4All. Its business model is government-funded, focusing on enabling innovation through grants and project administration. The target audience includes research institutions, companies, and public stakeholders. The agency leverages partnerships with specialized platforms like SISTA and Starfos to streamline project management and data access. Growth indicators include active event calendars and ongoing calls for proposals. The agency's digital presence is consistent and professional, supporting its authoritative role. Revenue streams are primarily government budget allocations. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with multiple subdomains and external links to related services. The agency's operations emphasize transparency, compliance, and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Use of security plugins like Stop User Enumeration indicates awareness of common WordPress vulnerabilities. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection risks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks published incident response or security policy documents, which could hinder rapid response to security events. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy policies and cookie management. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP headers and formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Develop and publish incident response and security policy documentation to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility for security and privacy inquiries to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.9.2 with plugins such as Smart Slider 3 and Kadence Blocks, indicating a modern and flexible CMS environment. It uses Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Plausible Analytics for traffic and user behavior analysis, combined with Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The absence of hosting provider information limits full infrastructure assessment. The technical stack is standard for government websites, balancing usability and compliance. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and streamline third-party script usage to reduce attack surface and improve load times.
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.
