Meziměstí.cz is the official municipal website for the town of Meziměstí in the Czech Republic. It serves as a comprehensive information portal for residents and visitors, providing details about the city administration, local services, news updates, event calendars, and contact information. The site targets local citizens and community members, offering a user-friendly experience with clear navigation and relevant content. The business model is typical for a government entity, focusing on public service and community engagement. The website is well-branded and consistent with municipal identity, supported by a domain registered since 2001, indicating a stable online presence. Technically, the website utilizes modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js and Mustache.js, integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection, and offers multilingual support via Google Translate. It is built on the Vismo CMS platform and hosted likely by Active24, a known Czech hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a formal security or incident response policy. Cookie policy information is present but lacks an active consent mechanism, which may impact GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, and the WHOIS data aligns well with the website's official municipal nature, supporting its legitimacy. Overall, mezimesti.cz is a trustworthy and professionally maintained municipal website with solid technical foundations and good content quality. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and privacy compliance would enhance its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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 itself as the primary digital presence for the Meziměstí municipal government, serving local residents and visitors with essential information and services. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of municipal topics including fees, social services, technical services, and cultural events. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and community service. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government entity. The target customer segment is local citizens and stakeholders interested in municipal affairs. Growth indicators include regular updates to news and events, and integration with social media and external services like virtual tours and weather information. The partnership ecosystem includes local utilities (ČEZ Distribuce), tourism platforms (virtualtravel.cz), and job portals (spravnykrok.cz). The website is maintained by WEBHOUSE s.r.o. using the Vismo CMS, indicating a professional operational setup.

Security posture

The security maturity of mezimesti.cz is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 helps prevent automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. Cookie consent mechanisms are not implemented despite the presence of a cookie policy, which may expose the site to GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the site demonstrates basic security hygiene but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce an active cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Vismo CMS platform, leveraging JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and Mustache.js for dynamic content rendering. It integrates Google services including reCAPTCHA v3 for security and Google Translate for multilingual support. The site uses modern CSS and responsive design techniques to ensure good mobile optimization and accessibility. Hosting appears to be provided by Active24, a reputable Czech hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and prefetching of CSS resources. The site includes structured metadata such as Open Graph tags for social media sharing but lacks JSON-LD structured data. There is room for improvement in SEO by adding more semantic markup and enhancing meta descriptions. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
