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

Vysoká škola chemicko-technologická v Praze (VŠCHT Praha) is a leading Czech higher education institution specializing in chemical technology, biochemistry, food technology, and environmental sciences. The university offers comprehensive bachelor, master, and doctoral programs, alongside active research and industry collaboration. It holds a strong market position as a premier technical university in the Czech Republic with strategic partnerships such as ORLEN Unipetrol. The website reflects a professional academic institution targeting students, researchers, and industry partners. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks including Vue.js and RequireJS, integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking, and uses a custom CMS. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented; however, it lacks visible security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data is missing, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but the official content and social media presence support legitimacy. Overall, the website is well-maintained, secure, and serves its educational mission effectively.

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: Google Analytics, 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"

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.

Business context

Business profile

VŠCHT Praha operates as a public educational institution focused on chemical and technological sciences. Its business model centers on education, research, and technology transfer, serving students, academia, and industry. The university's competitive advantage lies in its specialized programs, research excellence, and strong industry ties. Revenue streams likely include government funding, tuition fees, research grants, and partnerships. The target audience includes prospective and current students, doctoral candidates, researchers, and corporate partners. The presence of strategic partners and international study programs indicates a growth-oriented and collaborative ecosystem. The website's comprehensive navigation and content reflect a mature digital presence supporting recruitment, research dissemination, and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Tracking technologies such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used responsibly with user consent. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification but does not directly impact site security. Overall, the site is secure for typical academic and informational use but could enhance transparency and defense-in-depth measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Create and host a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Vue.js, RequireJS, and jQuery, supported by CDN-hosted libraries for performance. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure. The CMS appears custom-built, tailored for academic content management. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and optimized CSS. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO metadata is minimal, lacking description content. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected, but security headers are missing, which is a technical risk. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content.
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.
