Moravský zemský archiv v Brně is a Czech government archival institution providing public access to historical documents, research facilities, and archival care information. The website serves researchers, historians, and the general public interested in regional history and archival materials. It maintains a clear and consistent brand presence with official contact details and regularly updated news content. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, uses HTTPS, and includes modern web fonts and icon libraries, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity.

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

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google APIs

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

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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 archive operates as a public service entity within the government sector, focusing on archival research and public access to historical records. Its business model is non-commercial, funded by government resources. The website supports multiple branch offices and offers online archival tools and catalogs. The target audience includes academic researchers, genealogists, and the general public. The institution maintains partnerships with other government and archival organizations, as evidenced by linked domains. The website's content and structure support its mission effectively, with clear navigation and relevant services. Growth indicators include active news updates and public events. The lack of social media presence suggests a focus on direct public engagement rather than broad digital marketing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a cookie policy, but a consent mechanism is missing. The site does not appear to use tracking or analytics services that could raise privacy concerns. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government archival site but could benefit from implementing additional best practices and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Elementor page builder plugin, leveraging jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site loads external CSS and JS resources efficiently and is mobile responsive. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are basic, with some screen-reader text elements present. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and canonical links included but no advanced structured data beyond minimal schema.org markup. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could improve by optimizing performance further and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
