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

The website www.mesto-most.cz serves as the official online portal for the city of Most in the Czech Republic. It provides comprehensive municipal information, including administrative services, event calendars, news updates, and public resources tailored for residents and visitors. The site is well-branded with official city logos and integrates social media channels to enhance community engagement. Technically, the site uses a modern CMS (vismo), incorporates Google Analytics for traffic insights, and employs Google reCAPTCHA to secure forms against spam. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates compliance with GDPR regulations. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses standard security practices but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces domain registration trust but does not detract from the site's legitimacy given its official nature. Overall, the site is professional, user-friendly, and secure with room for improvement in security transparency and technical headers.

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

8 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

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

The city of Most operates this website as a government entity providing essential services and information to its citizens and visitors. The site positions itself as the authoritative source for municipal news, administrative procedures, and community events. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service delivery. The site links to partner domains such as municipal police, coworking centers, and tourist information, indicating a collaborative ecosystem supporting local development. The content is regularly updated, reflecting active management and engagement with the community. The website's moderate size and sector classification as government align with its role as a municipal portal.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented on forms to prevent automated abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers (such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact are gaps that could be addressed to enhance security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The site does not publish a security.txt file, which is a recommended best practice for vulnerability disclosure. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved with additional transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide an incident response contact email or form to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

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.
