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

Brilante.cz is a Czech news and lifestyle portal established in 2015, offering a variety of content including news, automotive, travel, housing, finance, health, and tips. The website targets a general audience interested in regional news and lifestyle topics. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a Newspaper theme and several plugins, hosted on a provider associated with svethostingu.eu. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and secure login forms, but lacks visible security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Business credibility is moderate but could be improved with clearer contact information and trust signals.

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

    • 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

  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

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

The website operates as a regional media publisher in the Czech Republic, focusing on news and lifestyle content. It leverages WordPress CMS and partners with related news domains such as zpravyplus.cz for advertising or content sharing. The business model is primarily content publishing with potential advertising revenue streams. The target customers are general internet users seeking news and lifestyle information. The site shows consistent branding and a stable market presence since 2015, but lacks explicit business contact details and certifications that could enhance trust.

Security posture

The site uses HTTPS and secure login forms, which are positive security indicators. However, it lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could expose it to certain web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are publicly available. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No suspicious or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a popular Newspaper theme and multiple plugins for newsletter, cloud library, and standard packs. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and Google Fonts for styling. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for various screen sizes. Hosting is provided via svethostingu.eu, consistent with the domain's nameservers. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data, but accessibility features are basic. There is room for technical improvements in security headers and 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.
