The website serves a broad audience including residents, businesses, non-profits, and visitors, offering services such as news updates, public tenders, career opportunities, and contact information. The portal is well-established, with a domain registered since 2002, reflecting its long-standing role as a trusted information source. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, Lightbox, and other JavaScript libraries, built on a PHP framework likely CodeIgniter. It is hosted by a reputable registrar and shows good performance and mobile optimization. Accessibility and SEO practices are well implemented, enhancing usability for diverse users. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses a Content Security Policy header, and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, additional security headers could further strengthen the security posture. The site lacks a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident response readiness.

It effectively balances user experience, content quality, and security, making it a reliable portal for regional government services and information.

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

      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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Zlínský kraj holds a strong market position as the official government portal for the Zlín region, serving as a central hub for public information and services. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive content, official status, and integration with multiple partner portals and social media channels. The business model is public service-oriented, focusing on transparency, citizen engagement, and regional promotion. Revenue streams are typical for government entities, likely funded by public budgets. The target customer segments include local residents, government employees, businesses, tourists, and non-profit organizations. Growth indicators include active content updates, integration of modern web technologies, and expanding digital services. The partnership ecosystem includes regional portals and cultural initiatives, enhancing the portal's reach and relevance. Strategic observations highlight the portal's role in digital government transformation and regional branding.

Security posture

The security maturity of the Zlínský kraj website is good, with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy header implemented. The site uses secure forms for user login and manages cookies with explicit user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of third-party libraries appears current, though regular updates are recommended. The absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. Incident response mechanisms and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly visible, which could be enhanced to improve security culture and transparency. Overall, the site demonstrates a responsible security posture appropriate for a government portal, with room for incremental enhancements.

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 or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts and procedures to build user trust and readiness.
  5. Continue improving accessibility and mobile optimization to ensure inclusive user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom PHP framework, likely CodeIgniter, supported by a suite of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, Lightbox, and Select2. The site uses modern front-end technologies and includes accessibility features like font size adjustment and keyboard navigation aids. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading implemented for images. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting is provided by REG-ACTIVE24, a reputable registrar. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforces upgrade-insecure-requests via CSP. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from additional security headers and a formal vulnerability disclosure mechanism. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable, secure, and user-friendly government 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.
