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

Město Hlinsko operates an official municipal website serving residents and visitors of the city of Hlinsko, Czech Republic. The site provides comprehensive information about municipal offices, citizen services, local news, social and cultural activities, and crisis management. It targets local citizens and stakeholders seeking official information and services. The website is well-structured and content-rich, reflecting a public sector information portal model with a focus on transparency and accessibility. Technically, the website uses a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap 4.4.1, Swiper, PhotoSwipe, and mmenu libraries, indicating a moderately modern front-end stack. The site appears mobile-optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating awareness of privacy compliance. However, no major CMS or hosting provider details are evident, suggesting a custom or proprietary municipal CMS. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces trust signals, although the website content and domain usage appear legitimate. No vulnerabilities or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a low-risk profile but with room for security improvements. Overall, the website is a functional and professional municipal portal with good content quality and user experience. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and investigating the missing WHOIS data to improve domain 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.

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

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 represents a small-sized government entity focused on local governance and public service delivery. Its market position is that of the official municipal authority for Hlinsko, providing essential services and information to its community. The business model is non-commercial, centered on transparency, citizen engagement, and regulatory compliance. Key services include administrative information, social services, crisis management, and cultural event promotion. The partnership ecosystem includes local schools, cultural institutions, and social care organizations, reflecting a community-oriented operational model. Growth indicators are not applicable given the public sector nature, but the site demonstrates digital maturity appropriate for a municipal government entity.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could delay response to security events. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the privacy policy and cookie consent. Overall, the site is secure enough for informational purposes but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear security contact channels.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain trust and transparency.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a moderately modern front-end technology stack with jQuery, Bootstrap 4.4.1, Swiper, and PhotoSwipe. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, typical for municipal websites in the Czech Republic. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization and responsive design in place. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No major technical debt indicators were found, but the absence of security headers and WHOIS data suggests areas for modernization and improved infrastructure transparency.
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.
