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

8 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

  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 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

VŠERS holds a niche position as a regional higher education provider in the Czech Republic, focusing on European and regional studies. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized bachelor programs and lifelong learning offerings. The business model is educational, funded likely through tuition and public grants. The target customers are students seeking education in public administration and security law. The institution maintains partnerships with related educational entities such as stredniskola.cz. Growth indicators include active research projects and conference hosting. The website content and structure support clear communication of academic offerings and institutional information.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Security headers are partially implemented but could be improved by adding Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers. No vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which is common for educational institutions but could be enhanced. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is good but can benefit from incremental improvements in header policies and incident transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident handling.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain and periodically review privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with well-known plugins such as Slider Revolution and SiteOrigin Panels, indicating a standard but effective technical infrastructure. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Google Ads scripts shows integration with marketing and analytics tools. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. Hosting is via a Czech registrar with stable DNS. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected, but continuous maintenance is recommended to keep the platform secure and performant.
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.
