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

    • 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 website serves as a key information hub for the Pardubice region, focusing on news, cultural events, and community updates. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content tailored to regional interests, supported by a long domain history since 1997. The business model is primarily content-driven, likely supported by advertising or regional partnerships. Target customers include residents, tourists, and local organizations. The site integrates with Facebook for social engagement, indicating a partnership ecosystem centered on social media. Growth indicators include active content updates and event promotion. The absence of e-commerce or subscription models suggests a focus on free access to information.

Security posture

The security maturity of pardubice.cz is moderate. The site uses HTTPS with strong SSL, ensuring encrypted communications. Privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms demonstrate compliance with GDPR. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the HTML analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational website but could be improved with enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with a well-known theme (VMagazine) and several plugins for SEO, analytics, social integration, and form building. The tech stack includes jQuery, Facebook SDK, and LightSlider for UI components. Hosting is stable with a reputable registrar and name servers. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but security enhancements are recommended.
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.
