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

Albatros Media is the largest publishing group in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, offering a broad portfolio of publishing houses, books in various formats, e-commerce platforms, and an online antiquarian bookstore. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, targeting readers, authors, and partners in the publishing and retail sectors. The company positions itself strongly in the media industry within its regional market. Technically, the site uses ASP.NET Web Forms, integrates modern libraries such as jQuery and Fancyapps UI, and employs Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The website is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features could be enhanced. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks visible security headers which could improve protection against common web threats. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for commercial entities, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the site is trustworthy, compliant with GDPR, and provides a safe browsing experience.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

    • 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';…

  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

Albatros Media holds a dominant market position as the largest publishing group in Czechia and Slovakia, leveraging a diversified business model that includes publishing, retail, and online sales. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem, including its own e-shop domain. Revenue streams likely include book sales, licensing, and digital content distribution. The target customer segments include general readers, authors, and retail partners. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital strategy with ongoing updates and media presence. The use of Cookiebot and Google Analytics reflects a commitment to data-driven marketing and compliance. No direct financial or founding year data was found, but the brand is well established in the region.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the web application against common attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is common but could be enhanced for transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media company but would benefit from additional security controls and public disclosure of security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular third-party script audits to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms technology, using jQuery 3.6.3 and Fancyapps UI for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy management. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Material Icons. The presence of async script loading and preconnect hints indicates some performance optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are properly configured. However, no CMS was explicitly detected, and hosting provider details are not available. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The technical stack is modern enough for a media company but could benefit from modernization towards newer frameworks and enhanced security practices.
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.
