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

The website hostalkova.cz serves as the official digital presence of the municipality of Hošťálková in the Czech Republic. It provides comprehensive information about local government services, community events, public notices, and cultural activities. The site targets residents, local institutions, and visitors seeking municipal information. It operates as a governmental public service portal with a focus on transparency and community engagement. The domain's age and WHOIS data confirm its legitimacy and long-standing presence since 2000. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper, and Nette Framework components, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. Multimedia content such as videos, virtual tours, and photo galleries enrich the site. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the Czech Republic location, supporting trustworthiness. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced compliance and protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is supported by a GDPR page, but could be improved with clearer cookie policies and incident response information. Overall, hostalkova.cz is a well-maintained, trustworthy municipal website with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in privacy and security policies would further strengthen its 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

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

    • 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

Hošťálková's website positions itself as a key information hub for the local community, offering detailed municipal contacts, event calendars, and public documents. Its business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and community engagement. The site demonstrates consistent branding and professional content, reflecting the municipality's commitment to transparency and accessibility. Partnerships with local service providers and cultural organizations are evident through linked domains and content. The presence of EU-funded project information indicates active participation in regional development programs. Growth indicators include regular updates and multimedia integration, supporting ongoing community involvement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. The site does not expose sensitive data in its HTML content, and third-party libraries appear up-to-date. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a GDPR page but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is critical under EU regulations. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a municipal site but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details to include data retention and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and robust technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper, and Nette Framework components, facilitating responsive design and interactive features. It integrates multimedia content effectively, including videos and virtual tours, enhancing user engagement. Hosting appears stable with domain registration dating back to 2000, indicating low technical risk. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times of multimedia assets. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation are present, supporting inclusive design. SEO is addressed with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt is minimal, but adding security headers and cookie consent mechanisms would modernize compliance and security posture further.
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.
