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

Knihovna Bakov is a local public library and museum located in Bakov nad Jizerou, Czech Republic. The institution offers a variety of cultural and educational services including book lending, audiobooks, internet access, copying services, and organizes events and exhibitions. The website is well-structured, providing detailed information about the library and museum, upcoming events, and recent news posts. The target audience primarily consists of local residents, visitors interested in regional history, and readers. The business model aligns with a public or non-profit cultural institution serving the community. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices. However, there is a lack of visible security headers and no explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring secure communication. From a security perspective, the site shows a moderate security posture with no evident vulnerabilities in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern, reducing trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses standard security practices but would benefit from enhanced security headers and compliance documentation. Overall, the website is a credible and professional representation of a local cultural institution but should address privacy compliance and domain registration transparency to improve trust and security posture.

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

10 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

  2. Security headers

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

Knihovna Bakov operates as a small-sized, local educational and cultural institution with a focus on library and museum services. Its market position is that of a community resource, providing access to literature, cultural heritage, and educational events. The business model is likely publicly funded or supported by local government or non-profit entities. Revenue streams are not explicit but may include public funding and event-related income. The target customers are local residents, schools, and cultural visitors. The website indicates active engagement through event promotion and social media channels. Partnerships with local digital agencies for website development are evident. Growth indicators include regular event updates and recent news posts. The institution maintains a consistent brand and trust signals through contact transparency and social media presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of Contact Form 7 with reCAPTCHA suggests some protection against spam. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR adherence. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in compliance and header security.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to improve incident response and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using standard plugins including Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Contact Form 7 for form management. It employs jQuery and responsive lightbox scripts for enhanced user experience. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for visitor tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of advanced security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses canonical URLs and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO benefits. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy features.
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.
