Risk levelHigh

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

The website represents the official online presence of the Visegrad Group, an intergovernmental cooperation platform among Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. It serves as an informational and cultural exchange hub, promoting regional cooperation and European integration. The site is supported by the International Visegrad Fund and includes partner links to official tourism and think tank sites. Technically, the site uses a legacy but stable technology stack including Bootstrap 3 and jQuery 1.9.1, managed via the Webra CMS. The design is professional and content-rich, targeting government officials, researchers, and the general public interested in Central European affairs. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks modern security headers and explicit privacy policies. Contact options are limited to a web form without direct email or phone contacts. Overall, the site is trustworthy and legitimate, though improvements in privacy compliance and security hardening are recommended.

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

11 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 Visegrad Group website positions itself as a key regional cooperation platform with a focus on government and non-profit sectors. Its business model revolves around information dissemination and cultural promotion rather than commercial activities. The site benefits from strong partnerships with official national tourism boards and the International Visegrad Fund, enhancing its credibility and reach. The target audience includes policymakers, academics, and citizens interested in European integration. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel, typical for governmental entities. The website's longevity since at least 2006 indicates stable operations. However, the lack of modern privacy and security features may impact future compliance and user trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data was found in the HTML. The contact form collects user input but no visible anti-spam or CAPTCHA mechanisms were detected, which could be a vector for abuse. The absence of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add direct contact information such as official emails and phone numbers for transparency and accessibility.
  4. Integrate CAPTCHA or anti-spam measures on contact forms to prevent abuse.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve security culture and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older technology stack featuring Bootstrap 3 and jQuery 1.9.1, which are stable but outdated. The CMS used is Webra 3.0, a less common platform, which may limit integration with modern tools. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal. The site does not appear to use modern analytics or tracking services, which reduces privacy concerns but also limits marketing insights. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced mobile and accessibility support.
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.
