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

Zlínský kraj is the official regional government portal for the Zlín region in the Czech Republic, providing comprehensive information and services to residents, businesses, and visitors. The website offers detailed content about the region's governance, news, public services, and cultural initiatives, positioning itself as a trusted source of regional information. The portal is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets a broad audience including citizens, local authorities, and stakeholders. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript stack with libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Lightbox, alongside a PHP-based backend framework (CodeIgniter inferred). It is hosted with a reputable provider and uses HTTPS with a Content Security Policy header, ensuring secure communications. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with SEO best practices implemented. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including secure login forms, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, additional security headers and HSTS could further enhance its security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is a reliable, secure, and user-friendly government portal with a high trust level. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing security.txt for vulnerability disclosures, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security and compliance.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

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

  2. Security headers

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Zlínský kraj operates as a regional government entity providing public administration and information services. Its market position is that of an authoritative regional portal serving a medium-sized audience within the Czech Republic. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery and transparency. Revenue streams are likely government-funded. The portal supports a wide ecosystem of regional partners and services, including cultural, educational, and infrastructural domains. Growth indicators include active content updates, social media engagement, and digital service expansion. The partnership ecosystem is robust with multiple linked regional portals and services, enhancing the portal's value proposition and reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy in place. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The login form uses secure password fields, and third-party scripts are limited to trusted sources. However, the absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and HSTS represents an area for improvement. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not explicitly found, suggesting potential gaps in security governance. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security controls and formalized incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party JavaScript libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing clear security contact channels and documented procedures.

Notes

The website uses a PHP backend framework (CodeIgniter) with a frontend built on jQuery and various UI enhancement libraries such as Slick Carousel and Lightbox.

The site is stable and functional with no visible technical risks impacting business operations.
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.
