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

Město Polička operates an official municipal website serving residents and visitors with comprehensive city information, including news, events, official documents, and public services. The website is well-established with a domain age since 2003, reflecting a stable digital presence for the local government of Polička, Czech Republic. The site targets local citizens and visitors seeking municipal updates and services. Technically, the website uses ASP.NET Web Forms with Bootstrap and FontAwesome, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface, though performance is moderate and accessibility is basic.

Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, suitable for its government function.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 positions itself as the official digital portal for the city of Polička, providing essential municipal services and information. Its business model is government service delivery, focusing on transparency and citizen engagement. The site offers key services such as news updates, event calendars, document repositories, and interactive features like defect reporting and GIS access. The target audience includes local residents, visitors, and stakeholders interested in city affairs. The domain's long registration history and consistent WHOIS data reinforce its legitimacy. Partnerships with local cultural and community sites are evident through linked domains. The website's content and structure support its role as a trusted municipal resource, with no commercial or advertising distractions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense against certain attacks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue management. Forms are present but no advanced security controls or input sanitization details are visible. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism despite a cookie policy page may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are apparent, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a visible incident response contact or security@ email for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms technology, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. It uses jQuery for client-side scripting. The HTML is valid and structured, supporting good SEO basics and mobile optimization. Hosting is provided by COREhub, S.R.L., with a domain registered since 2003, indicating stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement to meet higher standards. No advanced CMS detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The site integrates external links to social media and local partner domains, enhancing community engagement. Overall, the technical stack is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
