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

Vysoká škola chemicko-technologická v Praze (VŠCHT Praha) is a prominent Czech university specializing in chemical technology, biochemistry, food technology, environmental protection, and related scientific disciplines. The institution offers comprehensive bachelor, master, and doctoral programs and maintains active research collaborations with industry partners. The website reflects a well-structured academic institution with clear navigation, official branding, and extensive information for students, researchers, and collaborators. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Vue.js, RequireJS, jQuery, and Swiper for interactive elements. It integrates Google Custom Search for site search functionality and Google Adsense for advertising. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices. However, some accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of published security policies or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the website is professionally maintained, trustworthy, and serves its educational mission effectively. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain registration insights but does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing formal security policies, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining regular security audits.

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

6 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

      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 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

VŠCHT Praha holds a strong market position as one of the largest technical chemistry universities in the Czech Republic, targeting students, researchers, and industry partners. Its business model centers on providing higher education and conducting research with practical applications. The university benefits from strategic partnerships, notably with Unipetrol, and offers lifelong learning opportunities. The website content and structure indicate a mature institution with a focus on quality education and research excellence. Revenue streams likely include tuition, research grants, and industry collaborations. Growth indicators include active project participation and international student mobility programs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and no visible security flaws in the frontend code. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response information, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates gaps in security transparency and defense-in-depth. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security certifications. Data protection practices align with GDPR through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, suggesting an opportunity for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and modular frontend technology stack including Vue.js, RequireJS, and jQuery, combined with Swiper and FancyApps UI for interactive components. Google Custom Search integration provides site search capabilities, and Google Adsense is used for advertising. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The CMS appears custom-built, supporting dynamic content and multi-language features. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and the need for ongoing maintenance of dependencies.
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.
