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

Českotřebovský zpravodaj is an official municipal news portal operated by the city of Česká Třebová in cooperation with the local municipal library. The website provides residents and local organizations with news, event calendars, official announcements, and advertising opportunities. It serves as a key communication channel for the municipality, offering downloadable electronic versions of the periodical and detailed information about submission guidelines and advertising rules. The site is primarily targeted at the local Czech-speaking community and functions as a trusted source of municipal information. Technically, the website is built on the Joomla CMS platform and utilizes common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Matomo for analytics. It implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR regulations, indicating a good level of privacy awareness. The site is accessible, mobile-friendly, and well-structured, although some improvements in security headers and performance optimization could be made. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent tools but lacks visible security headers which are recommended for enhanced protection. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, as it reduces the ability to verify domain legitimacy and ownership, although the official municipal affiliation and content quality mitigate this risk somewhat. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for municipal communications but would benefit from improved domain transparency and enhanced security practices to strengthen trust and resilience against potential threats.

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.

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

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 operates as a municipal media outlet, providing essential communication services for the city of Česká Třebová. Its business model revolves around information dissemination and local advertising, targeting residents and local organizations. The site leverages partnerships with local institutions such as the municipal library and cultural centers, enhancing its community integration. Revenue streams likely include advertising sales and municipal funding. The site’s competitive advantage lies in its official status and localized content, which is not easily replicated by commercial media. Growth indicators include regular content updates and digital availability of periodicals. The partnership ecosystem includes local cultural and educational institutions, reinforcing its role as a community hub.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the site is reasonably secure for its purpose but should adopt additional best practices and formalize security policies to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and CMS components to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimizations to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with extensions such as Phoca Download and N3t Cookie Consent Manager. It uses jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend interactivity and layout, and Google Web Fonts for typography. Analytics are handled via Matomo, a privacy-focused analytics platform. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts and has a responsive design. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site lacks advanced frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries but is stable and functional. No hosting provider information was found. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and SEO enhancements.
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.
