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

Město Hlinsko operates an official municipal website serving the residents and visitors of the city of Hlinsko in the Czech Republic. The site provides comprehensive information about local government services, public notices, social services, crisis management, and cultural activities. It is positioned as a key digital portal for municipal communication and citizen engagement. The website is well-structured with clear navigation and a broad range of content tailored to the local community's needs. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 4.4.1, Swiper, PhotoSwipe, and mmenu for responsive and interactive UI components. The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS with a Lego2 skin. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and there is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern, reducing trustworthiness and business credibility scores. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and professional municipal portal with good content quality and user experience. The main risks relate to the lack of WHOIS transparency and limited visible security policies. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and verifying domain registration details to improve trust and compliance.

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

7 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

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

Město Hlinsko's website reflects a government entity focused on providing essential municipal services and information. The business model is service-oriented, targeting local residents and stakeholders. The site supports transparency through detailed organizational structures, public notices, and social service information. The partnership ecosystem includes local schools, cultural institutions, and social care organizations linked via external domains. The absence of commercial advertising or analytics indicates a non-commercial, public service focus. Growth indicators are not evident from the site, but the comprehensive content suggests ongoing municipal engagement. The site’s market position is as the authoritative digital presence for Hlinsko municipality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or incident response information is published, limiting transparency for vulnerability reporting. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which is a potential risk factor. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could improve in advanced security practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security transparency.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and increase trustworthiness.
  4. Conduct a security audit of all third-party libraries and scripts to confirm no vulnerabilities exist.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap 4.4.1, Swiper, and PhotoSwipe, indicating a modern front-end approach. The presence of mmenu scripts suggests mobile-friendly off-canvas navigation. The site uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a Lego2 skin, which may limit flexibility but provides consistent branding. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. The site includes meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for responsive design. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, which reduces privacy concerns but limits user behavior insights. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a municipal website but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced 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.
