Středočeský kraj operates as the official regional government portal for the Central Bohemian Region in the Czech Republic. The website serves as a comprehensive information hub providing residents and stakeholders with access to government services, news, projects, and contact information. It maintains a strong market position as the authoritative source for regional governance and public service information. The portal targets local citizens, businesses, and public entities within the region, offering a government-driven service model focused on transparency and accessibility. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Clay UI for interactive components. It integrates performance monitoring via AppDynamics and analytics through Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, ensuring a user-friendly experience across devices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs standard security best practices, although explicit security headers and incident response information are not prominently disclosed. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive GDPR and cookie policies, though a visible cookie consent mechanism is absent. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected, indicating a mature security posture appropriate for a government entity. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing incident response contacts, and adding explicit cookie consent to further strengthen compliance and trust.

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

5 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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 portal is positioned as a key digital asset for the Central Bohemian regional government, providing essential public services and information dissemination. Its competitive advantage lies in official status, comprehensive content, and integration with multiple regional service portals and social media channels. Revenue streams are typical for government entities, funded by public budgets rather than commercial activities. The target customer segments include residents, local businesses, public organizations, and media. Growth indicators include active content updates, project showcases, and digital service expansions such as mobile app promotion. The partnership ecosystem includes various regional service portals and government-related platforms, enhancing service delivery and citizen engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and absence of exposed sensitive data. Use of security tokens in forms and absence of vulnerable libraries indicate good development practices. However, the lack of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and absence of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent areas for improvement. GDPR compliance is evident, but cookie consent mechanisms could be enhanced. The security culture appears mature but could benefit from increased transparency and formalized security communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and document comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels on the website.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing security and privacy-related information prominently to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing a combination of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Clay UI, and YUI modules for UI components and interactivity. Performance monitoring is integrated via AppDynamics, and analytics are managed through Google Analytics and Tag Manager. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features, contributing to a positive user experience. While the technology stack is modern and well-maintained, opportunities exist to optimize performance further and enhance security header implementation. The infrastructure appears stable with no signs of technical debt or deprecated technologies.
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.
