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

Město Holešov operates an official municipal website serving as the primary digital portal for residents, visitors, and local businesses. The site provides comprehensive information about the town's administration, cultural events, public services, and practical resources. It positions itself as a trusted source for municipal news, event calendars, and administrative contacts, supporting community engagement and transparency. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google services such as reCAPTCHA and Tag Manager. It supports multilingual access via Google Translate and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure, although some security headers are missing. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration transparency, though the site content and structured data strongly indicate legitimacy as a municipal government portal. Overall, the website is professionally designed, content-rich, and trustworthy for its intended audience. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency could further enhance its security posture and user trust.

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

6 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

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 town of Holešov, Czech Republic, targeting residents, local businesses, and visitors. It offers a broad range of municipal services and information, including administrative contacts, event calendars, cultural heritage, and practical tools such as online reservations and public notices. The business model is government-funded and focused on public service delivery rather than commercial revenue. The site integrates with partner domains related to local information centers, libraries, and regional planning. Growth indicators include active news updates and community engagement features like polls and event submissions. The partnership ecosystem is primarily local and governmental, supporting regional cooperation and citizen services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent banner and a basic cookie policy page. Incident response and security policy documentation are missing, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Consider publishing terms of service and more detailed privacy policies to increase user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of open-source JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components, along with Google services for analytics, translation, and bot protection. The site is structured with semantic HTML and includes JSON-LD structured data for improved SEO and rich results. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized media assets. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design and viewport settings. However, the site lacks some modern security headers and explicit CMS identification. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for a municipal government portal but could be modernized with enhanced security and accessibility features.
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.
