Aktuality.info is a Czech-language online news portal offering a wide range of news and lifestyle content across categories such as general news, sports, automotive, finance, and health. The site targets a general Czech-speaking audience interested in current affairs and lifestyle topics. The business model appears to be advertising-supported, leveraging content updates and SEO optimization to attract visitors. The website is built on WordPress CMS with popular SEO and newsletter plugins, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and technical infrastructure. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking and marketing insights. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and secure external link handling, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for media sites, and the domain appears active and legitimate based on content and update recency. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy news platform with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

10 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

Aktuality.info holds a position as a general news media outlet in the Czech Republic, offering diverse content to a broad audience. Its competitive advantage lies in its multi-category coverage and regular content updates. The business relies on advertising revenue, supported by SEO and analytics tools. The site integrates with external domains for content and social engagement but does not show evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators include active content publishing and use of modern CMS plugins. The absence of detailed business registration or contact information limits transparency but is typical for online media. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing privacy compliance and security policies to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure handling of external links to prevent tabnabbing. Login forms are present with password inputs, but no visible CAPTCHA or advanced brute force protections. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML source. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Introduce CAPTCHA or rate limiting on login forms to mitigate brute force attacks.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities and technical debt.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.1 with a suite of plugins including All in One SEO, Yoast SEO, td-composer, and Google Analytics integration. The tech stack is modern and supports SEO and newsletter functionalities. Performance is moderate with standard jQuery usage and Google Fonts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile-specific menus. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data implemented. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and enhance privacy compliance.
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.
