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

Obec Potštejn operates as the official municipal government website for the village of Potštejn in the Czech Republic. It provides residents and visitors with essential information about local administration, tourism, public notices, and community services. The site is positioned as a local government portal with a focus on transparency and community engagement through online services such as event management and municipal fee payments. The target audience includes local residents, tourists, and businesses in the region. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS using popular plugins like Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, likely related to municipal fees. The site uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts and jQuery, and is hosted with a Czech provider (WEDOS). Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO practices are adequately implemented. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS encryption and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, serving its purpose as a municipal information portal. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to enhance security posture and compliance.

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. 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 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"

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

Obec Potštejn holds a stable position as a local government entity serving the Potštejn community. Its competitive advantage lies in providing centralized access to municipal information and services online, including tourism promotion and public document dissemination. The business model is public service oriented, funded by local government budgets. Revenue streams are not commercial but may include municipal fees collected online. The target customer segments are local residents, tourists, and local businesses. Growth indicators include digital adoption of services and event management capabilities. The partnership ecosystem includes government portals and local service providers. Strategic observations highlight the importance of digital transparency and community engagement in municipal operations.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which are critical under GDPR. Incident response readiness is unclear as no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The security culture appears basic, with standard WordPress security practices likely in place but lacking advanced measures or transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information with explicit security incident response channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on a well-known CMS (WordPress) with a modern page builder (Elementor) and e-commerce plugin (WooCommerce). The use of Google Fonts and jQuery is standard. Hosting is provided by WEDOS, a Czech hosting provider, which aligns with the domain registration. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized to a good degree. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities if not regularly updated and lack of advanced security headers. Modernization opportunities include implementing progressive web app features and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
