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

Vinařský fond is a Czech Republic-based official fund established by law in 2002 to support the wine industry through marketing, tourism development, and public information. It operates similarly to wine funds in neighboring countries and is funded primarily by levies on wine and vineyards and state contributions. The website serves as an informational and promotional platform for the fund's activities and campaigns, targeting wine producers, marketers, and the general public interested in viticulture. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 4.9.3 with Bootstrap and jQuery 1.12.4, hosted likely by Active24. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and has a good design and navigation structure. However, it uses outdated software versions, lacks modern security headers, and does not display privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and security. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and uses outdated libraries, increasing vulnerability risk. No incident response or security policies are visible, and no contact information for security or data protection officers is provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional in content and business credibility but requires technical and compliance improvements to enhance security posture and privacy 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.

Priority findings

9 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

      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

  2. Security headers

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 Vinařský fond operates as a government-established fund supporting the Czech wine industry through marketing and tourism initiatives. Its market position is national and authoritative, with a focus on promoting domestic wines under the brand 'Vína z Moravy, vína z Čech'. Revenue streams come from statutory levies and state contributions. The target customers include wine producers, marketers, and consumers interested in Czech wines. The fund also supports wine-related events and publishes promotional materials. The website reflects a stable, long-term presence with consistent branding and official trust signals. However, the lack of digital marketing tools and analytics suggests limited digital marketing sophistication.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate to low. While HTTPS is implemented, the use of outdated WordPress and jQuery versions exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible privacy or security policies, incident response contacts, or data protection officer information are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and best practices. The site does not appear to use advanced security frameworks or certifications. Regular updates, security hardening, and policy publication are recommended to improve security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress and all plugins to the latest supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish and display incident response contact information and appoint a Data Protection Officer if applicable.
  5. Integrate modern analytics and marketing tools with transparent user consent mechanisms to improve digital maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older WordPress version (4.9.3) with Bootstrap and jQuery 1.12.4, indicating technical debt and potential security risks. The site uses standard plugins like Contact Form 7 and Infinite Scroll but lacks modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced CMS features. Hosting appears to be with Active24, a known Czech hosting provider. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading but no advanced caching or CDN detected. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site would benefit from modernization, including updated CMS, improved performance optimization, and enhanced accessibility.
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.
