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

Město Harrachov operates an official municipal website serving as the primary digital portal for the city of Harrachov in the Czech Republic. The site provides comprehensive information including municipal news, public documents, contact details, tourism information, and community services. It targets residents, tourists, and local businesses, positioning itself as a trusted government resource. The website features a consistent branding with the city crest and maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. Technically, the website employs a custom CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper, and integrates a Botpress chatbot for user interaction. The site is mobile optimized and includes cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but lacks explicit security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. No WHOIS data is available, which slightly impacts trust but is not uncommon for certain ccTLDs. The absence of exposed sensitive data and the presence of official contact information indicate a secure posture suitable for a government site. Overall, the website is a reliable and professional municipal portal with good content quality and user experience. Strategic improvements in security headers, WHOIS transparency, and accessibility could enhance its trustworthiness and compliance posture.

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

8 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

  2. 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
  • 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 the official digital presence of the city government of Harrachov, providing essential services and information to its community and visitors. Its business model is centered on public service and information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The site leverages partnerships with local institutions such as schools, kindergartens, and the library, linking to their domains to create an integrated community network. The presence of tourism-related content and external links suggests a focus on promoting local tourism as a key economic driver. The site’s content and structure indicate a stable market position as the authoritative source for municipal information in Harrachov.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is adequate for a municipal government portal. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, demonstrating compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment but would benefit from enhanced security best practices and formal incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Improve accessibility compliance by adding ARIA roles and ensuring keyboard navigation support.
  4. Regularly update third-party libraries and frameworks to their latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase WHOIS transparency if possible to enhance domain trustworthiness and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform with a Lego2 skin, utilizing popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap 4.4.1, Swiper 4.5.0, and mmenu for responsive navigation. It integrates a Botpress chatbot for enhanced user interaction. The site is mobile optimized and includes cookie consent scripts for GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security headers are missing. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the HTML 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.
