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

      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

    • 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

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 website serves as the official digital portal for the Jihočeský kraj regional government, providing a wide range of services including legislative information, public tenders, crisis management, and EU project details. Its market position is that of a primary government information source for the region, with a large audience comprising residents, local businesses, and public officials. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and service delivery. Revenue streams are likely government-funded. The site shows strong partnership integration with subdomains dedicated to transport projects and subsidy programs, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include ongoing updates to EU projects and regional initiatives. The website's operations reflect a strategic focus on transparency, accessibility, and citizen engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented in compliance with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not confirmed and could be improved to enhance protection against common web attacks. Incident response information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not prominently available, suggesting room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the site maintains a secure baseline appropriate for a government portal but should consider additional hardening and formal security communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response communication.
  3. Enhance visibility and availability of incident response contacts or security team information on the website.
  4. Maintain regular updates of Drupal core and contributed modules to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue to monitor and optimize cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a current and maintainable technical infrastructure. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery UI for UI components, and FontAwesome for icons, which are standard and reliable technologies. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization possibly in asset loading or caching strategies. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. Integration of analytics and marketing tools is done with GDPR considerations. Hosting appears to be with Wedos, a known Czech hosting provider, consistent with the domain registrar. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by implementing additional security headers and formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes.
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.
