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

PinCity is a Czech Republic-based platform focused on providing a comprehensive mapping and data platform for urban development and municipal planning. Supported by the European Union and regional development funds, it targets municipalities and urban planners seeking data-driven insights for city development. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, reflecting a small but focused business entity founded in 2020 by Cognito.CZ, s.r.o. The technical infrastructure leverages Cloudflare DNS and Google Analytics for performance and user tracking, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare protection, but lacks some recommended security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, aligning with the business timeline and entity. The website content is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable material detected.

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.

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

PinCity operates in the government and technology sectors, providing a niche platform for municipal sentiment data and urban development mapping. Its business model revolves around offering data insights and mapping services to municipalities and regional stakeholders. The platform benefits from EU funding, enhancing its credibility and market position within the Czech Republic. The company, Cognito.CZ, s.r.o., is the legal entity behind the platform, with no subsidiaries or parent companies indicated. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with a focus on regional impact and innovation in urban planning. The partnership ecosystem includes EU projects but no other explicit business partners were identified. Growth indicators are moderate, with a professional online presence and media coverage sections.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare DNS providing baseline protection. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating limited transparency in security governance. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced headers, documented policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Review and enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and input validation.
  5. Balance analytics tracking with user privacy by providing opt-out mechanisms and clear data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Cloudflare for DNS and CDN, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and CSS/JavaScript for frontend presentation. The site is generated with Winston 4, indicating a custom or proprietary CMS or framework. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility and SEO features. Hosting is via REG-ACTIVE24 registrar with Cloudflare nameservers, providing reliable infrastructure. Technical debt is minimal based on the provided HTML, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed. The site structure and navigation are clear, supporting a good user 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.
