56/100

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 national funding programs and competitions aimed at fostering innovation and research commercialization. The agency serves research institutions, SMEs, startups, and government bodies, positioning itself as a key player in the Czech Republic's innovation ecosystem. The website reflects a professional and authoritative presence consistent with a government entity, providing comprehensive information about funding opportunities, events, and news updates. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 5.9.2 with modern plugins such as Smart Slider 3 and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, though some security headers are missing. The SSL configuration is excellent, and no blocking or WAF mechanisms interfere with content access. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses consent management for cookies, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to registry policy rather than malicious intent, and the domain's legitimacy is supported by its official .gov.cz domain and consistent branding. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good privacy compliance. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing security policies, and providing clearer contact information for security incidents to enhance trust and 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.

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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 strong market position as a government entity responsible for research funding in the Czech Republic. Its business model revolves around administering public funds to support innovation and research projects, primarily targeting SMEs, startups, and research institutions. The website's content and linked domains indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem with specialized platforms for project administration, data visualization, and helpdesk support. Growth indicators include active calls for proposals, events, and expert recruitment. The agency's operations are transparent, with clear communication channels and compliance with GDPR. The lack of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its government status.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed properly. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The site lacks published incident response procedures and security policies, which are important for transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident, but no dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information with dedicated security and abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with up-to-date plugins such as Smart Slider 3. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing purposes, alongside Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-responsive, accessible, and SEO-optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical stack is stable but could improve by adding security headers and implementing a security.txt file. Overall, the infrastructure supports the agency's mission effectively with a good balance of usability and compliance.
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.
