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

Houba.info is the official website of the Czech punk rock band Houba, active since 1995. The site provides comprehensive information about the band including news updates, concert schedules, discography, media galleries, and contact details. The website targets punk rock fans primarily in the Czech Republic and serves as a hub for band promotion and fan engagement. The business model revolves around music promotion, event announcements, and merchandise sales through a linked eshop. Technically, the site runs on a custom PHP5 CMS (Tapointa PHP5 MUSIC CMS) with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and SoundManager2 for media playback. It integrates external APIs like Google Maps and SoundCloud SDK for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks some accessibility features.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

Houba holds a niche position in the Czech punk rock music scene with a long-standing history and consistent fan base. The website reflects a small-sized media entity focused on music and event promotion. Revenue streams likely include merchandise sales and concert ticketing via partner platforms. The band maintains a strong social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Last.fm, SoundCloud, and Bandzone, supporting community engagement and marketing. Partnerships such as with Swis-shop.cz indicate collaboration for merchandise or services. The website content is professionally maintained with regular updates, indicating active operations and audience engagement.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communication, but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which would enhance protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML content. The site does not display privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency on security readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be improved by implementing security headers, privacy policies, and formal incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve security posture.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly update CMS and JavaScript libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom PHP5 CMS tailored for music bands, leveraging JavaScript libraries including jQuery and SoundManager2 for audio playback. It integrates Google Maps API and SoundCloud SDK for enhanced multimedia and location features. The site loads external CSS and JS resources efficiently and is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The absence of modern frameworks or platforms suggests some technical debt, but the site remains functional and user-friendly. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup.
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.
