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

Karlovarský kraj operates an official regional government website serving the Czech Republic's Karlovarský region. The site provides comprehensive information about the region's governance, public services, social programs, health, culture, and tourism. It targets residents, businesses, public organizations, tourists, and media, offering a broad range of resources including news, official documents, contact directories, and event information. The website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and frameworks such as Bootstrap, and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar for user behavior insights. From a technical perspective, the site demonstrates good digital maturity with responsive design, accessibility features, and SEO optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, appropriate security headers, and privacy compliance including GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data is notable but likely due to registry policies rather than malicious intent. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content accessibility. Security-wise, the site follows best practices but lacks publicly documented security policies or incident response contacts. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is balanced with privacy considerations such as IP anonymization. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, serving as a reliable information portal for the regional government. Recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security hygiene. These steps will enhance transparency and trust while strengthening the site's 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.

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

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

Karlovarský kraj holds a strong market position as the official digital presence of the regional government, providing authoritative information and services to a diverse audience. Its business model focuses on public service and information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The website supports community engagement through newsletters, social media, and public consultations. Partnerships with regional organizations and external sites enhance its ecosystem. The site’s content and structure indicate a medium-sized operation with consistent branding and professional content quality, reinforcing its credibility and public trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. Privacy compliance is evident with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The use of third-party analytics introduces moderate tracking but is balanced with privacy measures. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by formalizing security documentation and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance security headers with Subresource Integrity (SRI) for external scripts where feasible.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and modern UI components. It integrates Google Analytics and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content such as slideshows and images. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and implement advanced security features like SRI to further reduce risk.
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.
