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

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Twitter, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

    • 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

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

Investinostrava.cz positions itself as a key governmental platform to attract and facilitate investment in Ostrava, leveraging the city's geographic advantages and economic strengths. The business model revolves around promoting real estate and industrial development projects, supported by partnerships with private investors and major companies. The presence of testimonials from large IT and industrial firms indicates a strong partnership ecosystem and market credibility. The platform supports growth by providing detailed project information and fostering a positive image of Ostrava as a modern, safe, and economically stable city. Revenue streams are likely indirect, through increased investment and economic activity in the region. The site’s bilingual nature broadens its reach to international investors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. Use of Matomo analytics respects user privacy with opt-in consent. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No incident response or security policy pages are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security posture is adequate for a governmental promotional site but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with version 6.8.1, using popular plugins such as Smart Slider 3 for interactive content and Complianz GDPR for cookie management.

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.
