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

The Emil Zátopek Ostrava Golden Marathon website represents a professionally designed event platform dedicated to organizing a marathon and related races in Ostrava, Czech Republic. The event targets a broad audience of runners from elite athletes to amateurs and families, positioning itself as a new but promising marathon event with international participation. The website provides comprehensive event information, registration links, and partner acknowledgments, reflecting a focused business model centered on sports event management. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap, Swiper, and animation libraries, hosted by a reputable Czech provider (WEDOS Internet). The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and performance, though accessibility features are basic. Analytics are implemented via Plausible, a privacy-conscious service, indicating moderate user tracking. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap, especially under GDPR regulations. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 website serves as the digital presence for a newly established marathon event named after Emil Zátopek, a legendary Czech long-distance runner. The event is positioned to attract both elite international runners and local participants, leveraging Ostrava's sports heritage and partnerships with regional authorities and sports organizations. Revenue streams likely include registration fees and sponsorships. The partnership ecosystem includes city and regional governments, sports clubs, and Olympic foundations, indicating strong local support. The business model is event-centric with a focus on community engagement and sports tourism. Growth indicators include the planned second edition in 2025 and expanding participant categories. The website content and partner logos reinforce credibility and market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The use of a privacy-focused analytics tool is a positive indicator. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which are critical under GDPR. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public event site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add terms of service and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and user trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper for sliders, and AOS for animations, providing a visually appealing and interactive user experience. Hosting is provided by WEDOS Internet, a reputable Czech provider. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential improvements for users with disabilities. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No CMS is identified, indicating a custom or static site approach. The site uses Plausible Analytics, favoring privacy over extensive tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO features.
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.
