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

Městská část Praha 8 operates as the official municipal government website for the Prague 8 district in the Czech Republic. It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive information about local government services, news, events, and administrative procedures. The site targets local citizens and stakeholders interested in municipal affairs and public services. The business model is public sector focused, delivering government services and information digitally. The website maintains a consistent brand presence and offers multiple official social media channels to engage with the community. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with Telerik UI components and uses legacy jQuery 1.7.1 alongside modern libraries like Photoswipe. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good accessibility and SEO practices. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries and lack of visible security headers suggest areas for technical improvement. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS registration data reduces domain trustworthiness, but the official contact information and government affiliation strongly support legitimacy. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are publicly available. Overall, the website is a well-maintained government portal with good content quality and user experience. Strategic improvements in security headers, updated libraries, and enhanced transparency around security policies would strengthen its security posture and trustworthiness.

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. 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"

    • 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 website holds a strong position as the authoritative source for local government information and services in its district. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of public administration topics, including news, events, grants, and public tenders. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources, focusing on citizen engagement and transparency. The target audience includes residents, local businesses, and visitors. Growth indicators include active social media presence and digital service offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes local cultural institutions and community organizations. Operationally, the site demonstrates stable content updates and event management, reflecting an engaged municipal administration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS weakens defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, limiting transparency. Data protection practices appear adequate with privacy policies present and GDPR compliance implied. The site lacks explicit certifications or security frameworks. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement modern security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy ASP.NET WebForms platform with Telerik UI controls and uses older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.7.1, which may pose security and maintenance challenges. The presence of Photoswipe indicates some modern UI enhancements. The site uses a custom or proprietary CMS named Publix. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and mobile responsiveness. Accessibility is addressed reasonably well, with features like font size adjustment and route descriptions for the visually impaired. SEO is supported by meta keywords and structured navigation. Hosting details are not explicit, but the technology stack suggests a Windows-based hosting environment. Technical debt is present due to legacy components, suggesting modernization opportunities.
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.
