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

The website www.mucl.cz serves as the official municipal portal for the city of Česká Lípa in the Czech Republic. It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive information about city administration, public services, events, and contact details. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets local citizens and stakeholders. It offers key services such as news updates, event calendars, online forms, and access to municipal resources. The presence of official branding and social media links reinforces its legitimacy as a government entity. From a technical perspective, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates Google services such as Analytics, Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA, and Translate widgets. The site uses a custom CMS platform (vismo®) tailored for municipal websites. Performance and mobile optimization are good, with accessibility features implemented to support diverse users. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and CAPTCHA protection on forms, alongside a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing explicit security policies or incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable transparency gap, though the website content and official contact information strongly indicate a legitimate government presence. No signs of malicious content or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site maintains a safe content rating suitable for general audiences. Overall, www.mucl.cz is a credible, well-maintained municipal website with good technical and security practices. Strategic improvements in domain transparency and security policy disclosures would further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

9 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

  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"

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 city of Česká Lípa operates this website as a digital gateway to municipal services and information. The site positions itself as a key communication channel between the local government and its citizens, providing timely updates, administrative contacts, and access to public resources. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on transparency, civic engagement, and efficient public administration. Revenue streams are not applicable as this is a government entity. The target audience includes residents, local businesses, tourists, and public officials. The website's partnership ecosystem includes cultural, tourism, and accessibility service providers, enhancing community outreach. Growth indicators include regular content updates and integration of digital tools such as online forms and event calendars. The site reflects a mature digital presence consistent with modern municipal governance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS encryption, use of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and header implementation to mitigate advanced threats and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider adding a security.txt file for transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is publicly available and accurate.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform (vismo®) optimized for municipal websites, leveraging standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google services for analytics, tag management, translation, and bot protection. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. The technical infrastructure appears stable and well-maintained, though the hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve SEO metadata for enhanced discoverability and protection.
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.
