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

VisitCzechia.com is the official tourism website for Czechia, operated by CzechTourism, aimed at promoting travel and cultural experiences in the country. The site targets international tourists and travelers seeking information about Czechia's attractions, events, and travel guidance. The business model is government-driven tourism promotion, positioning itself as the authoritative source for Czech tourism information. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js, integrates privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo, and uses Google Tag Manager for marketing and tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration, ensuring secure communications. However, the absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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 key digital asset for CzechTourism, focusing on attracting and informing tourists about Czechia. Its competitive advantage lies in official government backing and comprehensive tourism content. Revenue streams likely include government funding and partnerships with tourism service providers. The target customer segments are international travelers and tourists interested in Czech culture and destinations. Growth indicators include multilingual support and integration of modern web technologies. The partnership ecosystem includes content delivery via CDN and analytics providers. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved privacy and security disclosures to align with international compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and privacy-focused analytics through Matomo. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is not clearly documented, which may pose regulatory risks. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the content. Enhancing transparency and formalizing security policies would improve the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern Vue.js frontend framework supported by a custom CMS backend (cms.visitczechia.com). It leverages CDN services for media delivery and integrates Matomo analytics for privacy-respecting user tracking alongside Google Tag Manager. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with extensive use of preloading and prefetching scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The absence of explicit hosting provider information limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
