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

Městská knihovna Poděbrady is a municipal public library serving the community of Poděbrady, Czech Republic. The website provides comprehensive information about library services including book lending, e-books, audiobooks, events, and community engagement activities. It targets a broad audience including children, seniors, and local residents, positioning itself as a key educational and cultural institution in the region. The business model is non-profit and focused on public service and education. Technically, the website is built on the Vismo CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Vue.js. It integrates Google services including reCAPTCHA v3 for form security, Google Translate for multilingual support, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well, with good SEO and navigation clarity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance, with a consent mechanism implemented. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and safe for general audiences. The main limitation is the absence of WHOIS data, which restricts domain registration transparency and trust analysis. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to improve security posture and trustworthiness.

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

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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 library operates as a small-sized, essential public service entity within the education and non-profit sectors. It maintains a strong local presence with a clear focus on community engagement through events, newsletters, and digital services like e-books. The website reflects a consistent brand and professional content quality. Partnerships with local and national cultural organizations are indicated by linked domains and banners. The business model relies on public funding and community service rather than commercial revenue streams. Growth indicators include active event programming and digital content offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes CMS and web design providers, but no commercial subsidiaries or parent companies are identified.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is used to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the HTML content. GDPR compliance is supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible on the site. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and vulnerability disclosure to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is available and accurate to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on the Vismo CMS platform, with frontend technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Vue.js. Integration with Google services such as reCAPTCHA, Translate, and Tag Manager indicates a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site employs lazy loading and asynchronous script loading to improve user experience. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is incomplete. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical setup supports the library's digital presence effectively but could be enhanced with improved security configurations.
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.
