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

Městská knihovna v Praze is a large public library institution serving the general public in Prague, Czech Republic. It offers a wide range of services including lending of books, music, films, and artworks, as well as free legal downloads of e-books and hosting cultural events year-round. The website reflects a well-established government-affiliated entity with a strong focus on accessibility and public service. Technically, the site uses a mix of older and modern web technologies including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Mapy.cz API, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though the absence of security headers and use of an outdated jQuery version present areas for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given its official nature and content quality. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its audience.

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

4 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

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 library operates as a government-funded public service entity under the auspices of the City of Prague. Its market position is strong as a leading cultural and educational institution in the region. The business model centers on free public access to a broad collection of media and cultural programming. The website supports user engagement through online catalog search, account login, and event information. Partnerships with local government and cultural organizations are evident. The site’s content and services target a broad demographic including adults, seniors, and general readers. Growth indicators include ongoing event programming and digital service expansion. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit status.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) introduces potential vulnerabilities that should be addressed. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but would benefit from modern security best practices and updated libraries.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Add a clear terms of service page to define user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Continue monitoring and improving privacy compliance, including detailed data retention policies and DPO contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of legacy and modern web technologies. jQuery 1.8.3 is outdated and poses security risks; upgrading is recommended. Owl Carousel is used for interactive content sliders, and Mapy.cz API provides mapping functionality. Google Fonts and Material Symbols enhance typography and iconography. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, integrated with a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but requires modernization in some areas.
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.
