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

Ynovate is a Czech innovation network connecting eight professional innovation centres established by cities, regions, and universities. The network supports the development and acceleration of innovative businesses by fostering synergies, sharing contacts, and cooperating directly with entrepreneurs. The website presents a professional and well-structured platform with clear business focus on innovation support across Czech regions. Technically, the site uses Kentico CMS, Bootstrap framework, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Smartlook for analytics and user behavior tracking. The website is mobile optimized and provides good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of security headers and explicit incident response policies suggests room for improvement. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance. However, the lack of WHOIS data for the domain reduces trustworthiness and calls for further verification. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its business purpose 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

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

Ynovate operates as a national innovation network in the Czech Republic, targeting entrepreneurs, innovation centres, investors, and regional development agencies. Its business model is collaborative, leveraging partnerships among regional innovation centres to provide expert networks, mentoring, and investor connections. The network has established a solid market position since 2018, with eight member centres and plans for expansion. The website highlights success stories and regional cooperation, indicating active engagement and growth. Revenue streams likely include public funding, regional support, and service fees for consultations. The partnership ecosystem includes regional innovation agencies and universities, enhancing credibility and reach. Strategic observations suggest Ynovate is well-positioned to influence regional innovation ecosystems and support startup growth in the Czech Republic.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager and Smartlook introduces third-party scripts that require regular security audits. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that should be addressed to mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but no dedicated data protection officer contact was found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but can be improved by implementing security headers, publishing incident response information, and enhancing third-party script management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Smartlook to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain trustworthiness and legitimacy.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities, enhancing legal compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Kentico CMS with Bootstrap framework, ensuring a modern and responsive design. It uses RequireJS for module loading and integrates analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Smartlook for user behavior tracking. The site loads asynchronously scripts to optimize performance, though overall speed is moderate. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. The technical stack is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
