Visit Plzeň operates as the official tourism guide for the Plzeň region in the Czech Republic, providing comprehensive information on local attractions, events, gastronomy, and visitor tips. The website serves tourists and visitors with a well-structured, content-rich platform supported by local government funding, positioning itself as a trusted regional tourism resource. The business model focuses on tourism promotion and engagement through digital content and an e-shop for branded merchandise. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Mailchimp integration, ensuring good SEO and marketing capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate, with a clean and professional design that enhances user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, indicating GDPR compliance. However, it lacks explicit security headers and dedicated security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, but the website's professional appearance and government association support its legitimacy. Overall, Visit Plzeň presents a secure, trustworthy, and user-friendly platform for regional tourism promotion. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response documentation, and vulnerability disclosure could further enhance its 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.

Priority findings

6 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

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

Visit Plzeň holds a strong market position as the official regional tourism portal for the Plzeň area, supported by government funding and partnerships with other tourism entities like Kudyznudy.cz. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive, localized content and multi-channel engagement including social media and an e-shop. The business model is centered on information dissemination and tourism promotion, targeting tourists, families, and culture enthusiasts. Revenue streams likely include government grants and merchandise sales. The partnership ecosystem includes local government and tourism organizations, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active content updates and event promotion, with a consistent branding strategy reinforcing market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms ensuring baseline privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response plans indicate room for improvement. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy policy and cookie management. The site does not currently provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for the business type but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and responsible disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy disclosures to align with evolving GDPR requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO and Mailchimp plugins, leveraging Google Tag Manager for analytics. It uses modern frontend libraries such as Swiper.js and Bootstrap for responsive design and UI components. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs and cloud storage (Amazon S3). Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Technical debt appears low, but hosting provider details are not disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement advanced caching or CDN strategies to boost performance further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable tourism portal.
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.
