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

Město Broumov operates an official municipal website serving residents and visitors with comprehensive local government information, news, cultural events, and public services. The site is positioned as the authoritative digital presence for the city of Broumov in the Czech Republic, targeting local citizens and tourists. Key services include municipal updates, event calendars, contact details for city offices, and online forms for administrative requests. The business model is typical for a government entity, focusing on public information dissemination and community engagement. Technically, the website employs a modern CMS platform (vismoWeb5) with integration of Google services such as Analytics, reCAPTCHA, and Translate. The site is HTTPS secured and includes cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. The design is responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices and clear navigation. However, some security best practices like HTTP security headers are not visibly implemented. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforcement and form protections via reCAPTCHA. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy verification, though the official content and contact details support authenticity. Overall, the website is a well-maintained municipal portal with good content quality and user experience. The main risks relate to incomplete domain registration transparency and minor security hardening opportunities. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, publishing security policies, and verifying domain registration details to enhance trust and compliance.

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

11 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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

The website serves as the official digital channel for the city of Broumov, positioning itself as a trusted source for municipal information and community engagement. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive local content. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery. Revenue streams are not applicable. Target customers are local residents, tourists, and businesses seeking municipal services or information. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital newsletter subscriptions. The partnership ecosystem includes regional and historical sites linked in the footer, enhancing local collaboration. Operationally, the site supports transparency and accessibility but could improve in security policy communication and domain registration clarity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting user input forms. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate GDPR awareness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of HTTP security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting external reporting channels. Data protection officer contact information is not provided, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal informational site but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance data protection compliance by providing Data Protection Officer contact details and detailed privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the vismoWeb5 CMS platform, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It integrates Google services such as Analytics for visitor tracking, reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation, and Google Translate for multilingual support. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are implemented with ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include missing HTTP security headers and reliance on third-party scripts which require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities.
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.
