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

Vinařský fond is a Czech Republic based institution established in 2002 by law to support the wine industry through marketing, tourism development, and public information. It operates as a non-profit fund financed by levies on wine and vineyards and state contributions. The website serves as an informational portal for wine producers, marketers, and the general public interested in viticulture. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 4.9.3 with Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted likely by Active24. While the site is accessible and uses HTTPS, it employs outdated software versions that may expose it to security risks. Privacy compliance is partial, with a GDPR information page but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is primarily via contact forms, with no direct emails or phone numbers found. No social media or advanced analytics tools are detected. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from technical and security updates.

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

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

    • 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

  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

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 holds a unique market position as the official Czech fund supporting wine marketing and tourism. Its business model is non-profit and government-backed, focusing on promoting domestic wines and supporting wine-related events. The fund targets wine producers, marketers, and tourism stakeholders, leveraging communication campaigns and event sponsorships. The website reflects a stable, small-sized organization with consistent branding and a clear mission. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests controlled communication channels. The partnership ecosystem includes a dedicated portal (portal.vinarskyfond.cz). Growth indicators are not explicit but the long domain age and continuous content updates imply sustained operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of contact forms with reCAPTCHA. However, the use of outdated WordPress (4.9.3) and jQuery (1.12.4) versions introduces potential vulnerabilities. No advanced security headers are detected, and there is no visible incident response or security policy information. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site would benefit from updating its CMS and plugins, implementing security headers, and enhancing privacy compliance to reduce risk and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding direct contact information (email, phone) for better user trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.9.3 with Bootstrap and jQuery 1.12.4, indicating a somewhat outdated technology stack. Hosting appears to be provided by Active24, a Czech hosting provider. The site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site uses standard WordPress plugins like Contact Form 7 and infinite scroll pagination. There is room for modernization to improve security, performance, 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.
