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

Římskokatolická farnost Svitavy operates a parish website serving the local Roman Catholic community in Svitavy, Czech Republic. The site provides comprehensive information about parish activities, churches, mass schedules, and community events. It targets local parishioners and visitors interested in the religious and community life of the parish. The business model is non-profit, focusing on spiritual and community services. The website is well-branded and consistent with the parish's identity, featuring regular content updates and links to official church resources. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 4.5.33 with several plugins including Contact Form 7 and Shashin for galleries. It uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking and loads resources such as jQuery and Font Awesome. The hosting appears to be Czech-based, consistent with the domain registration. The site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized but uses outdated software versions which may pose security risks. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enabled, but no security headers were detected in the provided data. The WordPress core and jQuery versions are outdated, increasing vulnerability exposure. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, nor incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicating compliance gaps. Contact information is limited to an email address and contact form, with no phone or physical address explicitly provided. Overall, the website is functional and serves its community purpose well but requires updates and improvements in security and privacy compliance to reduce risk and enhance trustworthiness.

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

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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 parish website holds a stable position as a local religious community portal, providing essential services such as announcements, mass schedules, and community engagement. Its non-profit nature limits commercial activities, focusing instead on spiritual and social support. The site leverages partnerships with official church bodies and related organizations, as evidenced by outbound links. Growth indicators include regular content updates and multimedia galleries. The business model relies on community donations and volunteer support, with no evident commercial revenue streams. The website's ecosystem includes integration with YouTube and photo galleries, enhancing engagement. Strategic observations suggest a need for modernization and enhanced digital security to maintain community trust and operational continuity.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but with notable weaknesses. HTTPS is enforced, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of outdated WordPress and jQuery versions exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting the ability to manage security incidents effectively. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site requires urgent updates and implementation of security best practices to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with a consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to enhance web security.
  4. Establish an incident response plan and publish vulnerability disclosure information to improve security readiness and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and monitor the website for security issues and maintain up-to-date software and plugins.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older version of WordPress (4.5.33) with several plugins for contact forms, galleries, and lightbox effects. It uses jQuery 1.12.4 and Font Awesome for UI elements, and Google Fonts for typography. Google Analytics is integrated via the Yoast plugin with forced SSL. The site is hosted likely by a Czech hosting provider associated with the registrar REG-INTERNET-CZ and uses the name server ns3.cesky-hosting.eu. The site is mobile-optimized and has a clear navigation structure. However, the outdated software versions represent technical debt and potential security risks. Performance is moderate, with no explicit advanced caching or CDN detected. SEO is basic with meta tags and RSS feeds present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags found.
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.
