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

Univerzita Hradec Králové is a public university based in the Czech Republic, offering a wide range of higher education programs, lifelong learning courses, and active research initiatives. The institution targets students, academic staff, researchers, and international partners, positioning itself as a regional educational leader with multiple faculties and comprehensive academic services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and multilingual support. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA, and Turbolinks, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. The site is optimized for mobile devices and incorporates SEO best practices, although some improvements in hosting transparency and CMS identification could be made. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses reCAPTCHA for form protection, and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers and incident response information are not present, suggesting room for enhancement in security posture and transparency. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for the university, though the absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing clear security incident contacts to bolster trust and compliance.

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

The university operates in the education sector, focusing on higher education and research. Its business model revolves around academic programs, lifelong learning, and international cooperation. The institution maintains partnerships and provides extensive resources for students and staff, including digital platforms for study management and communication. The website's comprehensive content and active news/events sections indicate a well-established organization with a medium-sized operational scale. The presence of multiple faculties and specialized services highlights a diversified academic offering. The university leverages social media and digital marketing tools to engage its audience and maintain visibility in the competitive education market.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good, with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers (such as CSP, HSTS) and absence of a published security policy or incident response page suggest gaps in security transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from enhanced security documentation and clearer communication channels for security incidents to improve overall security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information for reporting security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing explicit data retention policies and privacy notices related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy that includes staff training, penetration testing, and continuous monitoring.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with modern frontend technologies such as Turbolinks for navigation and Slick Slider for interactive content. Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA are integrated for analytics and security respectively. The site loads multiple SVG icons and uses Google Fonts with preloading for performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in hosting transparency and caching strategies. The absence of explicit CMS identification suggests a tailored solution, which may require dedicated maintenance and security oversight.
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.
