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

Obec Osov is the official municipal website for the village of Osov in the Czech Republic, providing residents and visitors with local government information, community services, event announcements, and historical context. The site serves as a central hub for municipal communication and public service access, targeting local citizens and stakeholders. The business model is that of a small government entity focused on transparency and community engagement. Technically, the website is built on a custom PHP-based CMS with legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.0 and Lightbox.js. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking but lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Hosting appears to be with a Czech provider (WEDOS), and the site performance and mobile optimization are basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site shows moderate maturity with no visible critical vulnerabilities but suffers from outdated libraries, lack of security headers, and missing cookie consent, which may expose it to some risks and compliance issues under GDPR. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and long-standing presence, consistent with the municipal nature of the site. Overall, the website is trustworthy and serves its purpose well but would benefit from technical and security improvements to enhance compliance, user privacy, and protection against emerging threats.

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

10 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Obec Osov holds a stable position as a local government authority serving a small community in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in providing official, centralized information and services to residents, including administrative contacts, event calendars, and public notices. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery. Revenue streams are likely municipal budget funded. The target customer segment is local residents and visitors interested in community affairs. Growth indicators are limited due to the nature of the entity but include digital engagement improvements. The partnership ecosystem includes local service providers such as postal services, schools, and cultural organizations. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to modernize digital infrastructure and enhance compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS likely enabled (though not confirmed in HTML), but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. The use of outdated jQuery 1.11.0 presents a potential vulnerability vector. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, and cookie consent is absent despite tracking scripts. GDPR compliance is partial, with a data protection officer page present but no explicit cookie or privacy consent mechanisms. The site does not expose sensitive data in HTML and uses standard Google Analytics tracking. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configuration and test for any mixed content issues.
  5. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security culture and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack with jQuery 1.11.0 and Lightbox.js for UI effects, integrated with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The CMS appears custom-built with PHP, indicated by URL parameters. Hosting is likely provided by WEDOS, a Czech hosting provider, based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile devices or accessibility features beyond basic HTML structure. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design, updated libraries, and improved 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.
