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

VisitCzechia.com is the official tourism website managed by CzechTourism, aimed at promoting travel and tourism in Czechia. The site provides comprehensive information about destinations, events, and travel tips targeting international tourists. The website employs modern technologies including Vue.js for frontend development and Matomo Analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and reCAPTCHA integration to prevent automated abuse. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as the lack of WHOIS data for the domain, present some concerns regarding transparency and compliance. Overall, the site appears professional and trustworthy, but improvements in privacy disclosures and domain registration transparency 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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 website serves as a government-backed tourism promotion platform, positioning itself as the authoritative source for travel information about Czechia. Its business model focuses on information dissemination rather than direct commercial transactions. The target audience includes international travelers and tourists interested in visiting Czechia. The use of a custom CMS and modern JavaScript frameworks indicates a moderate level of digital maturity. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational improvement. The site leverages partnerships with content delivery networks and analytics providers but does not show evidence of affiliate marketing or advertising networks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate bot traffic. The integration of Matomo Analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. However, the lack of explicit security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limit the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The missing WHOIS data reduces trust in domain legitimacy, which is a security consideration. Enhancing security headers and publishing security-related documentation would strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide visible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is publicly available to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Implement a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack based on Vue.js, supported by a custom CMS backend accessible via an API endpoint. Performance is moderate with extensive use of preloading and prefetching scripts and images. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility considerations, though these could be improved further. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Tag Manager, balancing tracking needs with privacy. The absence of visible hosting provider information and security headers suggests some technical debt or areas for enhancement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional tourism portal but would benefit from additional security and privacy 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.
