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

Moravskoslezský kraj is the official regional government entity for the Moravian-Silesian region in the Czech Republic. The website serves as a comprehensive portal providing information and services related to public administration, social services, healthcare, education, transportation, environment, culture, and economic development. It targets residents, businesses, and public institutions within the region, offering access to various online services and official communications. The site is well-branded and consistent with government standards, featuring multiple ISO certifications and an international rating indicating strong organizational credibility. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses Matomo analytics for user tracking, indicating a preference for privacy-respecting analytics solutions. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and structured navigation. However, some security best practices such as explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could be improved to enhance compliance and security posture. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and displays certifications for quality, environmental, and information security management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, EMAS). No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a public WHOIS record is noted but likely due to registry policies or privacy protection, not indicating malicious intent. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature security posture but could benefit from enhanced transparency in incident response and vulnerability disclosure. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website appearing trustworthy and professionally maintained. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent for GDPR compliance, adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to further strengthen trust and security culture.

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.

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

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 official regional government authority, providing essential public services and information to a large population in the Czech Republic. Its business model is focused on governance and public administration rather than commercial revenue generation. The website supports multiple sectors including transportation, healthcare, education, social services, environment, and culture, reflecting a broad operational scope. The presence of multiple regional projects and partnerships indicates active engagement with community development and innovation. The use of a privacy-focused analytics platform and ISO certifications enhances its credibility. Growth indicators include ongoing modernization projects and digital service portals. The partnership ecosystem includes regional innovation centers, expat support, tourism, and environmental initiatives, reflecting a collaborative approach to regional development.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple ISO certifications for quality, environmental, and information security management. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. No critical security issues or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content or scripts. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. Additionally, the lack of a publicly available incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy, but the missing cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. Overall, the security culture appears mature but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in security headers and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear incident response contact information and establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user education and trust by highlighting security practices and certifications more prominently on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates Matomo analytics for tracking, which is a privacy-friendly alternative to mainstream analytics platforms. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and font size controls. Performance appears moderate with deferred script loading and lazy loading of images. No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. The site could benefit from improved technical SEO through structured data and enhanced meta tags. Security-wise, the lack of HTTP security headers is a technical debt that should be addressed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but has room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
