Risk levelLow

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

Úřad průmyslového vlastnictví is the central government authority in the Czech Republic responsible for the protection of industrial property rights. The website serves as an official portal providing comprehensive information and services related to patents, trademarks, industrial designs, geographical indications, and related intellectual property matters. It targets a broad audience including inventors, businesses, legal professionals, and the general public. The agency offers educational resources, electronic submission portals, and maintains databases for intellectual property rights. The site reflects a mature government entity with a strong market position in the Czech Republic's IP ecosystem. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, and Select2 for enhanced UI components. It uses Matomo analytics with a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and accessible, with good SEO practices. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent. It references ISO certifications including ISO 27001, indicating a commitment to information security management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Security headers could be improved, and a security.txt file or explicit incident response contacts are absent. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR. The missing WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given its government domain and content quality. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure information, and maintaining regular security audits.

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 Úřad průmyslového vlastnictví operates as a government agency providing essential intellectual property services in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive service offerings, and integration with international IP organizations such as WIPO, EPO, and EUIPO. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on registration, protection, education, and information dissemination related to industrial property. Revenue streams are likely government-funded with possible fees for IP registrations and services. The target customers include inventors, SMEs, legal representatives, and educational institutions. Growth indicators include active educational programs, digitalization via e-portals, and international cooperation. The agency maintains partnerships with European and global IP bodies, enhancing its strategic position. Operationally, the agency demonstrates maturity with ISO certifications and a robust online presence.

Security posture

The security posture of the Úřad průmyslového vlastnictví website is solid, reflecting its ISO 27001 certification. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of Matomo analytics with consent indicates privacy-aware data collection. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and a security.txt file suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth and vulnerability disclosure transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could hinder rapid communication in case of security incidents. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature security culture but should enhance certain technical controls and transparency to further strengthen its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing explicit incident response contacts or security team emails on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and publicize data retention and privacy policies to reinforce GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, and Select2 for enhanced user interface elements. Matomo analytics is employed for visitor tracking with cookie consent enforcement, reflecting privacy-conscious analytics usage. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected, suggesting a custom or government-managed infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with no significant delays or errors observed. The site could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced incident response mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the agency's mission effectively but has opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
