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

The website https://zlin.eu/ serves as the official online presence of the statutory city of Zlín in the Czech Republic. It provides comprehensive information about the city's administration, culture, events, public services, and citizen engagement platforms. The site targets residents, local businesses, and visitors, offering services such as an official citizen portal, public notices, event calendars, and contact information for municipal departments. The business model is that of a government entity providing transparent and accessible information and services to its constituents. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA, OneSignal push notifications, and various UI libraries such as Slick Carousel and SweetAlert2. It is hosted by Media4web, s.r.o., a Czech hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Cookie consent and privacy policies are implemented with high confidence in GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with a Content Security Policy header and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. While no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, additional security headers could enhance protection. There is no explicit security incident response or vulnerability disclosure information published, which could be improved to strengthen trust and readiness. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. It effectively serves its role as a municipal information hub with a strong digital presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing clear incident response contacts to further improve security posture and stakeholder confidence.

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

      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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 Zlín positions itself as a transparent and citizen-focused government entity with a well-structured digital ecosystem. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive service offerings, including online citizen portals, event management, and public communication channels. Revenue streams are typical for municipal governments, primarily from public funding rather than commercial activities. The target customer segments include residents, local entrepreneurs, cultural participants, and tourists. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital engagement tools like newsletters and mobile alerts. The partnership ecosystem is broad, linking to cultural institutions, local businesses, and public services, enhancing community integration and service delivery.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, CSP header, and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or data leaks were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. The lack of published incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. Data protection practices align with GDPR requirements, supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized incident response and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root domain to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Enhance form validation and monitoring to prevent abuse and ensure data integrity.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to detect and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform utilizing a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and APIs, including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google reCAPTCHA. It integrates multimedia content such as videos and social media feeds, enhancing user engagement. Hosting is provided by Media4web, s.r.o., a Czech-based provider, ensuring regional alignment. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in script loading and caching strategies. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and SEO-friendly metadata. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack further and implement progressive web app features for enhanced user experience.
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.
