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

The website cercany.cz serves as the official online presence for the municipal government of Čerčany, Czech Republic. It provides residents and visitors with timely news, event calendars, public service information, and contact details for the local government office. The site is well-structured and targets the local community, offering essential services and information relevant to municipal governance and community engagement. The business model is governmental, focusing on public service rather than commercial activities. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Vue.js and Mustache.js, integrated within the Vismo CMS platform. It uses HTTPS with Google reCAPTCHA v3 to secure forms and prevent spam. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. SEO practices are present but could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and anti-bot measures but lacks explicit security headers and documented security policies or incident response procedures. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR considerations. Overall, cercany.cz is a trustworthy and professional municipal website with a solid foundation in content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and accessibility could further enhance its security posture 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

6 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

    • High

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

Čerčany's municipal website positions itself as a key information hub for local residents and stakeholders. Its competitive advantage lies in providing official, authoritative content directly from the local government, including news, events, and public services. The business model is non-commercial, focused on governance and community service. Revenue streams are not applicable. The target customer segment is local citizens and visitors seeking municipal information. The site shows growth indicators through regular content updates and event postings. Partnerships with regional government portals and local service providers are evident through linked domains. The website supports community engagement and transparency, reinforcing the municipality's public service mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is used to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Data protection practices appear adequate with GDPR compliance indicated, but no dedicated Data Protection Officer contact was found. The site shows no signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is acceptable for a municipal website but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider creating and publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Vismo CMS platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries such as Vue.js and Mustache.js for dynamic content rendering. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for spam prevention on forms. The site uses modern CSS and responsive design techniques to support mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO is basic but present, with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are minimal but include ARIA roles and labels. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and suitable for the website's purpose, though there is room for improvement in security and accessibility.
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.
