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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 organization positions itself as a key player in the Czech urban mobility and community planning sector, leveraging EU project funding to enhance credibility and reach. Its business model revolves around knowledge sharing, advocacy, and community mobilization rather than commercial sales. The presence of ambassadors and local leaders strengthens its network and influence. The website's content and structure support engagement and transparency, though the lack of explicit phone contacts and terms of service may limit some professional interactions. Partnerships with EU projects and web design firms indicate a collaborative ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding project showcases and increasing stakeholder involvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.3) could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if exploited. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from modern security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add explicit phone contact details to enhance user trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery 1.11.3, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Fancybox for UI components, supplemented by Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility basics but lacks advanced accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and older libraries. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. The site uses a cookie consent tool from Virtualis.cz, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance security headers to reduce technical debt and improve user experience.
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.
