Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Destinační společnost Východní Čechy is a regional destination management organization founded in 2008, focused on promoting tourism in the Pardubice region of the Czech Republic. The organization operates as a non-profit entity collaborating with regional government and tourism partners. Their website serves as an information hub for tourism projects, events, and press activities, targeting tourists and industry stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on an outdated Joomla 1.5 CMS platform, which poses security and maintenance challenges. The site uses common marketing and analytics tools such as Google DoubleClick and Facebook SDK but lacks modern privacy compliance features like cookie consent banners. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers and DNSSEC. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the business identity.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 organization holds a strong regional position as the official destination management entity for Pardubický kraj, supported by local government and national tourism agencies. Their business model centers on tourism promotion, event coordination, and project management, with partnerships including CzechTourism and regional authorities. The website content reflects active engagement in press trips, exhibitions, and tourism campaigns, indicating ongoing growth and outreach efforts. However, the lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site may limit direct customer engagement. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the use of Joomla 1.5, an unsupported CMS version, introduces significant security risks. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, and GDPR compliance is minimal. The site lacks cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, requiring urgent upgrades and policy implementations to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade the website CMS from Joomla 1.5 to a current supported version or migrate to a modern platform to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to improve defense against common attacks.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to ensure GDPR compliance and improve user trust.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to enhance security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Joomla 1.5 CMS, which is outdated and unsupported, posing significant security and maintenance risks. The tech stack includes MooTools JavaScript library and Facebook SDK for social integration, along with Google DoubleClick for analytics and marketing. Hosting is provided by WEDOS Internet, a reputable Czech hosting provider. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site structure is clear with consistent branding but could benefit from modernization and responsive design improvements.
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.
