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

Městská část Brno-Bystrc operates as the official municipal district government website for the Brno-Bystrc area in the Czech Republic. It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive information about local governance, public services, community news, events, and administrative procedures. The site is well-branded with official logos and links to related government portals, reinforcing its legitimacy and trustworthiness. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and GLightbox, and includes a carousel for featured content. It employs HTTPS for secure communication and integrates Matomo analytics configured to respect user privacy by disabling cookies and honoring DoNotTrack signals. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good baseline practices with HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics. However, it lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance with GDPR and other regulations. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, though the official content and branding mitigate concerns. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is a professional and trustworthy municipal portal with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic recommendations include adding comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and user trust.

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

5 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

    • 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

  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

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 a critical communication and service channel for the Brno-Bystrc municipal district, positioning itself as a trusted local government resource. Its business model is public sector service delivery, focusing on transparency, community engagement, and administrative support. The site links to regional and city government portals, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Revenue streams are typical for government entities, funded by public budgets. The target audience includes local residents, businesses, and visitors seeking official information. Growth indicators include regular updates, event announcements, and integration with city-wide digital services. The partnership ecosystem includes the city of Brno and the Jihomoravský kraj regional authority. Operationally, the site reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and professional content.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and analytics are configured to minimize privacy risks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose users to certain web-based attacks. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were identified. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no explicit consent mechanism. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and formalized policies to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file or equivalent vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging a combination of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.6.0, GLightbox, and Splide for UI components. It uses Matomo for analytics with privacy-respecting configurations. The site is served over HTTPS with no visible mixed content issues. The HTML structure is valid and includes accessibility features such as ARIA labels and skip links. Performance is moderate, with combined and minified CSS and JS assets. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by canonical links and Open Graph metadata. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed in the content.
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.
