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

The website www.svitavy.cz serves as the official municipal portal for the city of Svitavy in the Czech Republic. It provides comprehensive information about the city administration, local institutions, events, and citizen services. The site targets residents and visitors, offering a well-structured and localized experience primarily in Czech. The business model is that of a government service portal, focusing on transparency and public service delivery. The website is medium-sized in scope and content, with consistent branding and trust indicators such as official contact details and social media presence. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design, incorporating modern web technologies and Google Analytics for user tracking. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though the absence of security headers and a security.txt file suggests room for improvement. From a security and compliance perspective, the site complies with GDPR through cookie consent and privacy policy disclosures. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that reduces domain registration trustworthiness, though the website content and official branding strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and user-friendly, with recommendations to enhance security headers and publish vulnerability disclosure information. The overall risk assessment is low, with strategic recommendations focusing on improving domain registration transparency, security header implementation, and formalizing security policies to strengthen trust 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

7 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

      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 city of Svitavy operates this official portal to serve its residents and visitors by providing timely information on municipal governance, cultural events, public services, and safety. The portal integrates with multiple partner domains related to local services, cultural institutions, and safety initiatives, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and community engagement. The presence of multilingual translation links suggests an effort to reach a broader audience including tourists and non-Czech speakers. The site’s content and structure reflect a mature digital presence for a municipal government, supporting transparency and citizen participation through features like participatory budgeting and online service portals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent banners compliant with EU regulations, and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or explicit vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site uses third-party scripts including Google Analytics and Tag Manager, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended HTTP security headers and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trust.
  4. Add explicit security and incident response policy pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS with Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and modern UI components. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking user behavior. The site includes accessibility features and SEO optimizations such as meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and efficient CSS usage. The absence of visible security headers is a technical gap. The site is hosted on an unknown provider, with no direct hosting metadata available. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and modern, suitable for a government portal, with opportunities to enhance security configurations.
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.
