Zlínský kraj is the official regional government portal for the Zlín region in the Czech Republic, providing comprehensive information about the region, its governance, public services, news, and community resources. The website serves residents, visitors, businesses, and non-profit organizations with a broad range of services and information, positioning itself as a trusted and authoritative source for regional matters. The portal is well-structured, professionally designed, and consistently branded, reflecting its official status. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, Lightbox, and other JavaScript libraries, built on a PHP CodeIgniter framework. It is hosted by a reputable registrar and hosting provider, with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy in place. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, ensuring a positive user experience across devices. From a security perspective, the site shows strong adherence to best practices with secure forms, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is room for improvement by adding additional security headers and publishing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies and consent management.

Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, formalizing vulnerability disclosure, and improving incident response transparency to further strengthen the security posture 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.

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

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

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

Zlínský kraj operates as a government entity providing public administration and regional services. Its market position is strong as the official regional authority, with competitive advantages including official status, comprehensive service offerings, and strong community engagement. The business model is public service-oriented, funded by government budgets. Revenue streams are typical for government bodies, including public funding and grants. Target customers include residents, businesses, and visitors of the Zlín region. Growth indicators include active digital presence and continuous content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes regional portals and service providers linked from the main site. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining digital trust, compliance, and user-centric service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, Content Security Policy implemented, and secure handling of user inputs such as login forms. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements, indicating good data protection practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of additional security headers like X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security suggests opportunities for hardening. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could be improved to enhance security culture and readiness. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively but should address these gaps to meet higher security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing explicit incident response policies and security contact channels on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms to maintain trust and regulatory adherence.

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.
