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

Jihočeský kraj operates as the official regional government portal for the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, providing comprehensive information and services to residents, businesses, and stakeholders. The website offers detailed sections on regional administration, public contracts, EU funding, citizen services, and organizational contacts, positioning itself as a trusted source of regional governance information. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing insights. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the domain registration and website content align well, indicating a legitimate and trustworthy government entity. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response disclosures would further enhance the security posture and trust.

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

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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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 Jihočeský kraj website serves as a critical communication and service platform for the regional government, targeting residents and public sector stakeholders. Its business model is centered on public administration transparency, citizen engagement, and dissemination of regional development projects, including EU-funded initiatives. The site’s market position is strong as the official government portal, with no direct commercial competition. Revenue streams are likely government-funded, with no commercial transactions on the site. The partnership ecosystem includes related subdomains focused on specific regional projects and services. The website’s comprehensive content and consistent branding reinforce its authoritative presence in the regional government sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts introduces a moderate privacy risk, though mitigated by consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a government informational site but could benefit from enhanced security policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance privacy disclosures regarding data retention and tracking practices to align with best GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 10 CMS, indicating a modern and supported content management platform. It uses standard web technologies including FontAwesome for icons and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for user behavior tracking and marketing. The site is hosted likely by Wedos, a Czech hosting provider, consistent with the registrar information. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses a cookie consent banner compliant with EU regulations. Technical risks include reliance on third-party tracking scripts and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve incident response capabilities.
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.
