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

The website visitzlin.eu serves as the official tourist information portal for the city of Zlín, Czech Republic. It provides comprehensive information about the city, including cultural events, historical background, practical visitor information, and local attractions. The portal is operated by the city's magistrate and targets tourists, local residents, and cultural enthusiasts. It holds a strong market position as the authoritative source for tourism-related content in the region. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript-based tech stack including jQuery, FullCalendar, Slick Carousel, and Google Maps API. It uses HTTPS with a Content-Security-Policy header and integrates Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for analytics and bot protection. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure, though some accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses CSP headers, but lacks several other recommended security headers. The subscription form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement in privacy compliance. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and aligned with its municipal purpose. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent for GDPR compliance, publishing security policies, and maintaining regular security audits to ensure ongoing protection.

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.

Priority findings

11 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

  2. 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

  3. 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';…

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 portal is positioned as a key regional tourism information hub, leveraging official city branding and partnerships with local cultural and recreational institutions. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, focusing on promoting the city’s cultural heritage, events, and visitor services. Revenue streams are likely public funding and municipal support rather than direct commercial activity. The target audience includes tourists, local citizens, and event attendees. The site’s partnership ecosystem includes official city websites, cultural venues, and regional tourism organizations, enhancing its credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active event calendars and integration with social media channels. The portal supports the city’s strategic goals of tourism development and cultural promotion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header in place. The use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse. However, the lack of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense in depth. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. There are no visible signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security policies and headers to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security posture.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Establish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform utilizing a variety of modern JavaScript libraries for UI components, calendars, modals, and media handling. It integrates Google services for analytics, tag management, maps, and bot protection. The site is hosted by Media4web, a Czech hosting provider, consistent with the regional focus. Performance is moderate with some heavy image sliders but overall good mobile responsiveness. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. The technical stack is mature but would benefit from modernization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
