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

Městská část Praha 8 is the official municipal district authority for Prague 8, Czech Republic. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for residents and visitors, providing news, event calendars, public service information, contact details, and access to online services. The site maintains an active presence on multiple social media platforms, enhancing community engagement and transparency. The business model is focused on government public service delivery with a medium-sized operational scope. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with Telerik UI components and uses legacy jQuery 1.7.1 along with Photoswipe for image galleries. The CMS appears to be a custom or proprietary system named PUBLIX. The site demonstrates moderate performance and basic mobile optimization, with good accessibility and SEO practices. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented inline, supporting GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enforced, but no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML source. The use of an outdated jQuery version poses potential vulnerabilities. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to CZ NIC registry policies, which slightly reduces trust but does not detract from the legitimacy given the official nature and contact information. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its public sector function well. Strategic improvements include updating third-party libraries, enhancing security headers, and publishing clear terms of service and incident response information to strengthen 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

9 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. 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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

    • 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

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 Prague 8 municipal district website positions itself as a key local government information hub, targeting residents and stakeholders within the district. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive public service information, active social media engagement, and accessible event and news updates. The business model is non-commercial, focused on governance and community services. Revenue streams are typical of government entities, funded by public budgets. The partnership ecosystem includes local cultural, social, and environmental organizations, as evidenced by linked partner domains. Growth indicators include digital engagement and expanding online services such as reservation systems. Strategic observations suggest a stable operational model with opportunities for digital modernization and enhanced security compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.1) introduces known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Data protection officer contact information is not explicitly provided. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but requires improvements to mitigate risks and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other third-party libraries to current secure versions to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and configure essential security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear terms of service and incident response policies to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms with detailed information on data processing and retention to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy ASP.NET WebForms platform using Telerik UI controls and jQuery 1.7.1, indicating technical debt and potential modernization needs. The CMS is custom or proprietary (PUBLIX), which may limit flexibility and integration capabilities. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured navigation. The site lacks modern JavaScript frameworks and progressive web app features. Hosting details are not explicit but likely Windows-based. Technical risks include outdated libraries and missing security headers, which could impact business continuity and user trust if exploited.
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.
