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

The website pilsen.eu serves as the official information portal for the city of Pilsen, Czech Republic. It provides comprehensive information about city authorities, transport, tourism, cultural events, and investor relations. The site targets residents, tourists, and investors, positioning itself as a trusted government resource. The business model is public service oriented, focusing on information dissemination and community engagement. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Analytics for traffic analysis, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is well-structured with good SEO practices and mobile optimization, though some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with efficient use of external resources. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were found, indicating a solid security posture for a government website. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and provides valuable city-related information. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency around security policies would enhance its security maturity 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

6 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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

Pilsen.eu is positioned as the official digital gateway for the city of Pilsen, serving multiple stakeholder groups including citizens, tourists, and investors. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive content covering government, culture, transport, and tourism. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and information provision. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government entity. The partnership ecosystem includes related portals for sports, culture, and tourism, enhancing the city's digital presence. Growth indicators include multilingual support and active social media engagement. The site reflects a stable and mature operation aligned with municipal objectives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture typical of government portals, with enforced HTTPS and use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy publication. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps in transparency and defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected. The site would benefit from formalizing incident response procedures and publishing security-related information to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Fonts for typography, and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The inclusion of Google reCAPTCHA enhances form security. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently, though hosting provider details are not explicit. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation supports a stable and user-friendly experience.
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.
