The website pardubice.eu serves as the official digital portal for the city of Pardubice, Czech Republic, providing a comprehensive range of public services and information targeted at citizens, tourists, entrepreneurs, media, and city officials. It offers detailed sections on citizen documentation, transportation, housing, social services, environment, construction, safety, education, subsidies, and finance, positioning itself as a central hub for municipal engagement and communication. The site is well-branded, professionally designed, and consistent with government standards, reflecting a medium-sized government entity's digital presence. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, CSS, and HTML5, with integrations of analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar. It uses a reputable Czech registrar and hosting provider, INTERNET CZ, a.s., ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a moderate performance profile. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and provides cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content or linked domains. Overall, pardubice.eu demonstrates a strong security posture and compliance with privacy regulations, delivering a trustworthy and user-friendly experience. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to enhance transparency and user trust.

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

5 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      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 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';…

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

Pardubice.eu is positioned as the official municipal portal for the city of Pardubice, serving a broad audience including residents, visitors, business owners, and media representatives. Its business model is government-centric, focusing on providing public services, information dissemination, and community engagement. The portal supports city governance transparency through sections like official notices, budget information, and public tenders. The presence of event calendars and district-specific information indicates a focus on local community involvement. Partnerships with local service providers and integration with related domains such as the city airport and geoportal enhance its ecosystem. The site’s comprehensive content and structured navigation support growth in digital citizen services and e-government initiatives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.), and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR compliance. The integration of multiple analytics and tracking tools is managed with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. The site should consider adding these elements to strengthen its security culture and compliance with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA or other anti-bot measures to prevent abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, leveraging frameworks such as Swup for page transitions and Nette for form validation. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, all managed with user consent via Cookies Giant Consent Manager. Hosting is provided by INTERNET CZ, a.s., a reputable Czech provider. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. Technical debt appears low, but ongoing monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to mitigate risks.
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.
