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

The website www.holice.eu serves as the official municipal portal for the city of Holice in the Czech Republic. It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive information about city administration, local news, events, public notices, and tourist information. The site is well-branded with consistent city logos and offers multiple channels for citizen engagement including social media and a chatbot. The business model is focused on public service and community engagement, positioning the city as accessible and transparent to its constituents. Technically, the website employs a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics and a chatbot platform. The site is mobile-optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, 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 uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and implements cookie consent for privacy compliance. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not publish security policies or incident response information. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for .eu domains, and does not raise immediate concerns given the official nature of the site. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, serving its purpose as a municipal information portal. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.

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

  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"

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

      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

Holice's official website positions the city as a transparent and community-focused government entity. The site supports local governance by providing easy access to official documents, event calendars, and contact information. The integration of social media and a chatbot indicates a commitment to modern communication channels. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery. The presence of partner cultural and technical service domains suggests a collaborative local ecosystem. Growth indicators include active news updates and community engagement projects. The website's clear navigation and professional content support its role as a trusted information source for residents and visitors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency in security governance. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file reduces the ability for external parties to report issues responsibly. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a municipal informational site but with room for improvement to meet best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider developing a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and widely adopted technology stack with Bootstrap 4.5.3, jQuery 3.7.1, and Popper.js for frontend responsiveness and interactivity. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis, and a third-party chatbot enhances user engagement. The site loads external scripts asynchronously and uses a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The site is mobile-friendly and SEO-optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modern security and performance enhancements.
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.
