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

The University of Veterinary Sciences Brno (VETUNI) is a reputable educational institution specializing in veterinary sciences, offering high-quality education, innovative research, and professional training. It holds a leading position in the Czech Republic's veterinary education sector, targeting students, researchers, and veterinary professionals. The website reflects a well-structured digital presence with clear navigation and consistent branding. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, although the absence of security headers and explicit privacy policies indicates room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the official branding and contact information. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and providing incident response information to strengthen compliance and trust.

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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Business profile

VETUNI operates as a public university focused on veterinary education and research, serving a medium-sized institution in the Czech Republic. Its business model revolves around academic programs, lifelong learning, and veterinary services. The university maintains a strong social media presence and uses subdomains for its faculties, indicating organizational structure and specialization. The website content is professional and targeted towards prospective and current students, researchers, and veterinary professionals. While revenue streams are typical for public universities (tuition, grants, research funding), the site does not disclose financial details. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and internal faculty sites. Growth indicators include recent news and events, reflecting active engagement with the academic community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of nonce attributes in scripts suggests attention to script security. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies, which may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and improve privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and FontAwesome for icons. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous and deferred script loading improving load times. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and privacy features indicates areas for modernization. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the university's digital presence effectively but could be enhanced with improved security and compliance features.
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.
