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

Studentský spolek Babylon operates an independent cultural and social magazine primarily targeting university students and seniors in the Czech Republic. The revue has a long-standing history since 1992 and publishes articles on politics, culture, history, and social issues. The website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks security headers and formal privacy and cookie policies. Contact information is transparent and consistent with the domain registration data, supporting the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site is a credible, niche cultural media outlet with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

9 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

  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 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';…

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

Babylon holds a niche position as a non-profit cultural revue distributed mainly among Czech university students and seniors. Its business model relies on subscriptions, donations, and cultural engagement rather than commercial advertising. The editorial team consists of university graduates with historical ties to samizdat publishing, enhancing its cultural credibility. The website supports the print edition and provides online content with a focus on cultural and political commentary. The absence of commercial ad networks and use of privacy-friendly analytics indicates a focus on user privacy and editorial independence. The organization is registered with Czech authorities and maintains transparent contact details, reinforcing trust.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. It employs Plausible Analytics, a privacy-respecting analytics service, and defers script loading to optimize performance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting incident response readiness. No forms with sensitive data collection were detected beyond a basic search form, reducing attack surface. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against attacks.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Description
Babylon je nezávislá kulturně-společenská revue, vychází v Praze od roku 1992 a je převážně distribuována mezi studenty vysokých škol po celé republice. Vydavatelem je Studentský spolek Babylon, který tvoří především absolventi UK Petr Placák (šéfredaktor), Stanislav Škoda, Adam Drda, Josef Mlejnek jr., Jan Horník, Marie Kopecká, Jan Hájek. Někteří z nich mají zkušenosti již s předlistopadovým samizdatem, na který Babylon navazuje i tím, že nemá žádné zaměstnance: je to de facto „koníček“ jeho vydavatelů, editorů, podporovatelů.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization and uses Plausible Analytics for user tracking. The HTML is valid and includes modern meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter Cards). The site uses deferred and async JavaScript loading to improve performance. Mobile responsiveness is good, and navigation is clear with mega menus and search functionality. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit media site.
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.
