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

The website www.zielona-gora.pl is the official online portal for the City Office of Zielona Góra, Poland. It serves as a government information hub providing residents, visitors, and businesses with access to city authorities, departments, local districts, public services, cultural events, and tourism information. The site is positioned as a trusted municipal government resource with clear branding and official social media presence. The business model is public service oriented, focusing on transparency and accessibility for the local community. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, incorporating common plugins such as Contact Form 7, Cookie Notice, and WP Accessibility Helper. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with accessibility features implemented to support diverse users. SEO is basic but functional, and the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate ensuring secure communications. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks advanced security headers and a dedicated security policy page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present and GDPR considerations addressed. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing trust and credibility. Overall, the website is a safe, legitimate government portal with a solid foundation but could benefit from enhanced security policies and technical hardening. The risk level is low, with recommendations focusing on improving security headers, incident response transparency, and privacy documentation to strengthen compliance 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.

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

Business profile

Zielona Góra's city website positions itself as an essential government entity providing comprehensive municipal services and information. Its market position is that of an official city government portal, serving a medium-sized urban population. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and citizen engagement. Key services include administrative contacts, procedural guidance, cultural and tourism promotion, and local governance transparency. The site links to multiple partner government and regional service domains, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent content updates and integration of accessibility and cookie compliance tools. The portal supports local businesses and residents with digital services such as e-appointments and public information bulletins, reflecting a modern approach to municipal service delivery.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted data transmission. Cookie consent mechanisms and accessibility features indicate attention to user privacy and inclusivity. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is publicly available, which could delay response to security events. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, the site maintains a secure baseline appropriate for a government portal but should enhance its security posture with documented policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy documentation with detailed GDPR compliance statements and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, a widely used and supported framework. It leverages JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements and Font Awesome for iconography. Accessibility is enhanced via the WP Accessibility Helper plugin, and user interaction is facilitated through Contact Form 7. Cookie management is handled by the Cookie Notice plugin, ensuring compliance with EU regulations. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. The site is mobile optimized and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data, although some metadata fields are minimal. Hosting details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for municipal websites, balancing functionality and maintainability.
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.
