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

Středočeský kraj operates an official regional government web portal serving the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. The website provides comprehensive information about regional government activities, public services, news, projects, and contact details. It targets residents, businesses, and stakeholders within the region, offering services such as public transport information, social services, education, and grant programs. The portal is well-positioned as a trusted government information hub with a large audience and established presence since 2005. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay CMS platform with React components, leveraging modern web technologies and frameworks. It integrates third-party analytics and performance monitoring tools such as Google Analytics and AppDynamics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, ensuring a positive user experience across devices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses nonce-based Content Security Policy for inline scripts. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy policies and GDPR compliance information are present, though the cookie consent mechanism could be improved. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, representing an area for enhancement. Overall, the website is a professional, secure, and credible government portal with minor gaps in privacy and security transparency. Strategic improvements in cookie consent, security policy publication, and vulnerability disclosure would further strengthen its security posture and user 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

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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"

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 Středočeský kraj website reflects a government entity focused on regional administration and public service delivery. Its market position is that of an essential regional authority providing critical information and services to residents and local businesses. The business model is non-commercial, centered on governance and public communication. The portal supports multiple sectors including transportation, social services, education, culture, and regional development. The presence of multiple partner portals and external links indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The site’s longevity since 2005 and consistent branding reinforce its established role. Growth indicators include active news updates, project showcases, and integration with social media channels. The portal’s partnership with mapping services and payment platforms highlights a strategic approach to digital service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of nonce-based Content Security Policy to mitigate script injection risks. The absence of exposed sensitive data and the use of security tokens for form submissions indicate good security hygiene. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options, and the absence of published security policies or incident response contacts, represent gaps in transparency and defense-in-depth. No known vulnerabilities or malicious scripts were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and enhance trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced policy visibility and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices, incident response procedures, and contact channels.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible security reporting.
  4. Review and implement additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing React for frontend components and Alloy UI for legacy UI elements. It employs jQuery and BXSlider for interactive features. Performance monitoring is conducted via AppDynamics, and user analytics are tracked with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support are present. The technical infrastructure is robust and well-maintained, though some legacy scripts and multiple JavaScript libraries could be optimized for performance. The site’s SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the domain and resources are served securely over HTTPS.
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.
