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

The website www.budejovice2028.eu serves as the official platform for České Budějovice's candidacy as the European Capital of Culture 2028. It provides comprehensive information about the candidacy, cultural activities, projects, and community engagement initiatives. The site targets local residents, cultural organizations, volunteers, and the broader European cultural community. It is supported by local government and cultural institutions, positioning itself as a key cultural promotion and community engagement entity in the South Bohemia region. Technically, the website is built on the Solidpixels CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. It employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and secure forms with anti-spam measures, though some security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and no visible sensitive data exposure. Cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR compliance indicators are present, reflecting a strong privacy posture. No critical vulnerabilities or security incidents were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to EURid privacy policies, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the website's cultural and regional focus. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with strong business credibility and compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and continuing regular security audits to maintain a robust security posture.

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

9 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  2. Security headers

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 Budweis European Capital of Culture 2028 Association operates as a small non-profit entity focused on cultural promotion and community engagement within the Czech Republic. Its market position is that of an official cultural initiative supported by local government and regional stakeholders. The business model revolves around organizing and promoting cultural events, engaging volunteers, and disseminating information to residents and the European cultural community. Revenue streams likely include public funding and grants. The organization maintains a partnership ecosystem with cultural institutions and government bodies. Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing cultural activities. The website content and testimonials reflect a well-established operation with clear strategic goals.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling including anti-spam measures. While some standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, the overall risk is low given the nature of the site and absence of sensitive data exposure. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent banners and data processing agreements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which is typical for non-profit cultural sites. The security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced header implementation and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking attacks.
  3. Include X-Content-Type-Options header to prevent MIME sniffing.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools for security compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Solidpixels CMS platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site uses responsive design techniques and lazy loading for images, enhancing performance and mobile usability. The presence of multiple language versions indicates internationalization support. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation are implied but not fully audited. The technical infrastructure appears stable and suitable for the organization's needs, with opportunities to improve security headers and optimize loading times further.
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.
