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

Moravskoslezský kraj operates as the official regional government authority for the Moravian-Silesian region in the Czech Republic. The website serves as a comprehensive portal providing public services, information on education, transportation, healthcare, social services, environment, culture, and regional development. It targets residents, businesses, and visitors, offering online service portals and detailed organizational information. The site is well-branded and professionally maintained, reflecting a large government entity with multiple ISO certifications and a strong trust profile. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, integrates Matomo for analytics, and uses secure HTTPS connections. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and structured navigation. However, some security headers are not visibly present, and no cookie consent mechanism was detected, which could be improved for compliance. From a security perspective, the organization demonstrates maturity with ISO 27001 certification and other quality management standards. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the official nature and certifications mitigate concerns. The site lacks explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. Overall, the website is a secure, professional, and trustworthy government portal with room for minor improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency. The domain WHOIS data absence is a notable gap but does not critically undermine the site's legitimacy given its official status and content quality.

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

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

Moravskoslezský kraj holds a strong market position as the regional government authority, providing essential public services and governance. Its business model centers on public administration, regional development, and citizen services. Revenue streams are primarily government-funded. The target customers are residents, businesses, and institutions within the region. The organization benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem including cultural, educational, and environmental projects. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and digital service expansion. Strategic observations highlight a focus on quality management, environmental responsibility, and digital transformation to improve citizen engagement and service delivery.

Security posture

The security posture of Moravskoslezský kraj is robust, supported by ISO 27001 certification and adherence to quality and environmental standards. The website uses HTTPS exclusively and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of a published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicate areas for improvement. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy policies, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Incident response readiness is not explicitly communicated. Overall, the organization demonstrates a mature security culture but should enhance transparency and technical controls to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  2. Add visible HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Matomo analytics is integrated for user tracking with a focus on privacy. The site is built with semantic HTML5 and CSS3, ensuring good accessibility and SEO. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. The site is mobile-optimized and features clear navigation structures. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of cookie consent, which could impact compliance and security posture.
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.
