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.

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

Kostelec nad Orlicí's website positions itself as a key communication channel for local government, offering services such as an order system, official notice board, local fees, waste management, subsidies, public tenders, and senior citizen services. The site integrates with partner domains related to municipal services and community organizations, enhancing its ecosystem. The target audience is primarily local residents and visitors seeking official information. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and community engagement. The presence of social media links and event calendars indicates active community involvement. The website's content and structure suggest a stable and established municipal operation with moderate digital maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from automated abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, which could be added to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which is common for municipal sites but could be improved for transparency. No vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were detected. Overall, the site follows best practices for a government website but could benefit from additional security hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to collected data.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Vue.js for frontend interactivity and Mustache.js for templating, supported by the Vismo CMS platform tailored for municipal websites. It integrates Google services such as reCAPTCHA and Translate for security and multilingual support. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with some large SVG assets and multiple CSS files, but overall user experience is smooth. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. There is room for improvement in security headers and possibly performance optimization by reducing external dependencies.
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.
