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

Město Sázava operates an official municipal website serving residents and visitors with comprehensive information about local governance, services, cultural events, and public notices. The site is well-structured, featuring news updates, event calendars, waste collection schedules, and contact details, reflecting a mature digital presence for a small government entity. The technical infrastructure leverages common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Swiper.js, ensuring responsive design and moderate performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap, potentially impacting domain trustworthiness, but the website's content and branding strongly indicate legitimacy as a municipal portal. Overall, the site balances usability and compliance well, serving its community effectively.

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

7 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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 positions Město Sázava as a local government authority providing essential public services and information. Its business model is non-commercial, focused on transparency and citizen engagement. Key services include municipal news dissemination, event management, administrative contacts, and waste management schedules. The site integrates with partner platforms such as GIS online services and smart info registration portals, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The target audience is primarily local residents and visitors seeking official information. The site demonstrates consistent branding and professional content, supporting trust and community engagement. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital subscription services. The lack of detailed WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from operational credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and a visible cookie consent banner supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed scripts. However, the site could enhance its security posture by implementing additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. There is no evidence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact, which could be areas for improvement. The absence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or security.txt files suggests limited formal security communication channels. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for a government informational portal but could benefit from enhanced security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish explicit terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data to improve domain legitimacy and trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform likely Karakal, utilizing standard web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap 4.4.1, Swiper.js for sliders, and mmenu.js for mobile menus. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in asset loading and caching. The use of external CDNs for libraries like Bootstrap and Popper.js is noted. No modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) are detected, indicating a traditional multi-page application approach. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, aligning with privacy-conscious practices. Technical debt appears low, but modernization opportunities exist to improve performance and security.
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.
