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

The Ústav pro propagaci díla a odkazu Vítězslava Nováka is a small non-profit cultural institution dedicated to promoting the musical and pedagogical legacy of the Czech composer Vítězslav Novák. The organization focuses on concert activities, organizing annual events such as Novákovské dny, scholarly research, publications, and hosting the International Novák Piano Competition. The website serves as an official portal providing information about these activities and facilitating contact with the institution. Technically, the website is built on the vismo CMS platform, uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and integrates Google services such as reCAPTCHA and Translate. Hosting is provided by websupport.cz, a reputable Czech hosting provider. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA protecting forms, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with privacy and cookie policies present but lacking active consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its cultural and educational mission.

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

12 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

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 institution occupies a niche cultural sector focused on classical music heritage in the Czech Republic, targeting musicians, researchers, and culturally interested audiences. Its business model is non-commercial, relying on event organization and cultural promotion. The domain age of over 20 years supports its established presence. The website's content and navigation are consistent and professional, supporting its role as an authoritative source on Vítězslav Novák. The lack of social media presence and limited marketing tools suggest a focus on organic reach and community engagement rather than commercial expansion. Partnerships with webhouse.cz and vismo.cz indicate reliance on specialized web service providers. The organization maintains a clear contact channel and regularly updates content, indicating active management.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect its contact form, which are positive security measures. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are found, limiting transparency on security governance. The absence of tracking pixels and minimal third-party scripts reduce attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from implementing additional best practices and formal policies to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Add explicit security and incident response policy pages to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with vismo CMS, standard HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. Integration of Google services such as reCAPTCHA and Translate adds functionality but also introduces external dependencies. Hosting is managed by websupport.cz, a known Czech hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no significant issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is basic with canonical links and meta viewport tags present. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses a custom menu script and image blender for UI effects. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could be modernized with updated frameworks and enhanced security configurations.
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.
