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

TV Barrandov, operated by EMPRESA MEDIA, a.s., is a Czech television broadcaster offering a variety of entertainment, news, and cultural programming. The website serves as a digital platform for live TV schedules, video archives, subscription services, and advertising opportunities, targeting a general Czech-speaking audience. The company has an established market presence since 2008 and maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and active social media channels. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Video.js for video playback, and NanoGallery2 for image galleries. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses a cookie consent management tool to comply with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible advanced security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain registration transparency, but the website content and business information appear legitimate and professional. Overall, TV Barrandov's website is a well-maintained media platform with good content quality and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would enhance its security posture and trustworthiness.

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. 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

TV Barrandov operates in the Czech media sector as a broadcaster with multiple channels and a video archive. Its business model combines advertising revenue with subscription services, targeting a broad audience interested in entertainment and news. The company leverages partnerships with Czech media outlets such as TÝDEN.cz and VIP-svět.cz for content and promotional synergy. The website reflects a mature digital presence with active social media engagement and e-commerce integration for subscriptions. Growth indicators include diversified content offerings and multimedia integration. The partnership ecosystem supports content distribution and monetization strategies, positioning TV Barrandov as a significant player in the Czech television market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, indicating compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of third-party scripts necessitates regular vulnerability assessments to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media website but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and scripts to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase performance optimization efforts to improve loading times and reduce user friction.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Video.js for video playback, and NanoGallery2 for image galleries, indicating a multimedia-rich platform. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, and a cookie consent tool ensures privacy compliance. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. However, no specific CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the source. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack supports the business model effectively but could be enhanced with additional security and performance best 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.
