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

6 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

The website operates in the sports media sector, focusing on basketball in the Czech Republic. Its business model revolves around content provision, community engagement, and partnerships with official basketball bodies and sponsors. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, advertising, and affiliate links such as ticket sales and fan shop promotions. The portal serves a niche but dedicated audience of basketball enthusiasts, offering news, multimedia content, and event information. Its partnership ecosystem includes national basketball federations, leagues, media partners, and commercial sponsors, indicating a strong network and market presence. Growth indicators include active content updates, event promotion, and integration with social media platforms. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy and security policies to align with regulatory expectations and user trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, including category-based blocking for social media scripts. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy pages are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is partial, mainly due to the absence of a clear privacy policy and terms of service. The security culture appears functional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies to improve readiness and user confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response and security contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and response.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with modern front-end technologies including ES6 JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. Fonts are loaded asynchronously with FontFaceObserver to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels, though these could be improved. SEO metadata is present but minimal, with empty description and Open Graph description tags. Performance is moderate, with some deferred and async script loading. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility optimizations.
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.
